Toxin-Antitoxin Systems: Implications for Plant Disease
, 2017 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are gene modules that are ubiquitous in free-living prokaryotes. Diverse in structure, cellular function, and fitness roles, TA systems are defined by the presence of a toxin gene that suppresses bacterial growth and a toxin-

Examples of co-occurrence of toxin and antitoxin clusters within two-genes pseudo-operons (popTAs).
, 2019 The color key correspond to percentages (%), given in each cell. (A) Antitoxin clusters in A->T orientation, and their relation to toxin clusters. For instance, the modular A74 antitoxin cluster has three main cognates the T4, T65 and T78 toxin clusters:

Type II toxin: antitoxin systems. More than small selfish entities?
, 2016 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules regulate metabolism and viability of bacteria and archaea. In type II TA systems these functions are generally thought to be performed by two small proteins.

Toxin-antitoxin Systems: Classification, Biological Function and Application in Biotechnology
, 2014 The toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are systems in which an unstable antitoxin inhibits a stable toxin. This review aims to introduce the TA system and its biological application in bacteria.

Automated discovery and phylogenetic analysis of new toxin-antitoxin systems.
, 2008 Although often viewed as elements "at the service of" bacteria, plasmids exhibit replication and maintenance mechanisms that make them purely "selfish DNA" candidates.

Toxin-Antitoxin Flocculation in Tetanus
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1936 While the flocculation-test with diphtheria-toxin and antitoxin has given fairly good results,1, 2 the method has been found unreliable when applied to toxins and respective antitoxins of tetanus,3, 4, 5 botulinus,6, 7 staphylococcus,8 and Streptococcus scarlatinœ.9, 10Bronfenbrenner and Reichert6 found that antitoxin obtained by immunizing animals ...

Generation of a toxin/antitoxin-based counterselection marker for Chlamydia trachomatis
Infection and ImmunityChlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infection in the United States. The high rate of asymptomatic cases and absence of a vaccine often leave infections untreated, increasing the risk of serious complications in ...
