Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT)-negative Campylobacter jejuni strains and anti-CDT neutralising antibodies induced during human infection but not chicken colonisation [PDF]
, 2005 The cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) of Campylobacter jejuni was detectable, using an in vitro assay, in most but not all of 24 strains tested. The reason for the absence of toxin activity in these naturally occurring CDT-negative C.

Studies on the mode of action of bacterial AB5 toxins
Nippon Saikingaku Zasshi, 2013 Bacterial AB5 toxins are proteins, produced by pathogenic bacteria including of Vibrio cholerae, Shigella dysenteriae, and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli, which are usually released into the extracellular medium and cause disease by killing or altering the metabolism of target eukaryotic cells.

The Biochemistry of VapBC Toxin-Antitoxins [PDF]
, 2011 The VapBC toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were first identified in 2005 and little is known about their contemporary biological function, despite the fact that VapBC TAs are the largest TA family and are widespread in bacteria and archaea (Arcus, Rainey ...

Replication of plasmids derived from Shiga toxinconverting bacteriophages in starved Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2011 The pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) depends on the expression of stx genes that are located on lambdoid prophages. Effective toxin production occurs only after prophage induction, and one may presume that replication of the
