Evolutionary Features in the Structure and Function of Bacterial Toxins. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2019 Toxins can function both as a harmful and therapeutic molecule, depending on their concentrations. The diversity in their function allows us to ask some very pertinent questions related to their origin and roles: (a) What makes them such effective ...

From Bacterial Poisons to Toxins: The Early Works of Pasteurians
, 2022 We review some of the precursor works of the Pasteurians in the field of bacterial toxins. The word “toxin” was coined in 1888 by Ludwig Brieger to qualify different types of poison released by bacteria. Pasteur had identified the bacteria as

Why Are Botulinum Neurotoxin-Producing Bacteria So Diverse and Botulinum Neurotoxins So Toxic?
Toxins, 2019 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most lethal toxins among all bacterial, animal, plant and chemical poisonous compounds. Although a great effort has been made to understand their mode of action, some questions are still open.
