Bacterial Toxins, Current Perspectives [PDF]

Toxins, 2020
Toxins are the major pathogenicity factors produced by numerous bacteria involved in severe diseases in humans and animals. Certain pathogenic bacteria synthesize only one toxin which is responsible for all the symptoms and outcome of the disease.

Clostridial Neurotoxins: Structure, Function and Implications to Other Bacterial Toxins [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2021
Gram-positive bacteria are ancient organisms. Many bacteria, including Gram-positive bacteria, produce toxins to manipulate the host, leading to various diseases. While the targets of Gram-positive bacterial toxins are diverse, many of those toxins use a

Impact of Bacterial Toxins in the Lungs [PDF]

Toxins, 2020
Bacterial toxins play a key role in the pathogenesis of lung disease. Based on their structural and functional properties, they employ various strategies to modulate lung barrier function and to impair host defense in order to promote infection. Although

Some Examples of Bacterial Toxins as Tools [PDF]

Toxins
Pathogenic bacteria produce diverse protein toxins to disturb the host’s defenses. This includes the opening of epithelial barriers to establish bacterial growth in deeper tissues of the host and to modulate immune cell functions.

Bacterial Toxins for Cancer Therapy [PDF]

Toxins, 2017
Several pathogenic bacteria secrete toxins to inhibit the immune system of the infected organism. Frequently, they catalyze a covalent modification of specific proteins. Thereby, they block production and/or secretion of antibodies or cytokines. Moreover,
