The Importance of the Expendable: Toxin–Antitoxin Genes in Plasmids and Chromosomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Toxin–antitoxin (TA) genes were first reported in plasmids and were considered expendable genetic cassettes involved in the stable maintenance of the plasmid replicon by interfering with growth and/or viability of bacteria in which the plasmid was lost ...

Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Clinical Pathogens
Toxins, 2016 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are prevalent in bacteria and archaea. Although not essential for normal cell growth, TA systems are implicated in multiple cellular functions associated with survival under stress conditions. Clinical strains of bacteria are

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2019 Yersinia pestis belongs to those pathogenic bacteria which produce lipopolysaccharide (LPS) having the function of a toxin. In order to make a toxic effect the polymer must be separated from the cell outer membrane and presented to the immunocompetent ...
