Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1995
Crystal structures of shiga and pertussis toxins have recently revealed a remarkable degree of structural homology among the members of the AB5 class of bacterial toxins. Other structures have provided a detailed view of the molecular basis of receptor binding specificity of cholera toxin, and of the heat-labile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli.

Clinical Reviews in Allergy, 1993
We have presented in some detail the more common clinical syndromes produced by the ingestion of natural seafood toxins, and touched on those that could be of interest to the international traveler and to the sport fisherman. For the practicing allergist, knowledge of this wide array of clinical syndromes of toxicity is of paramount importance for the ...

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1983
Few of the cellular components of group A streptococci appear to be directly toxic for animals or humans. Some preparations of M protein produce an immunotoxic effect on human platelets and neutrophils. Cell wall fragments produce a chronic multinodular inflammatory lesion of dermal connective tissue.

Critical Care Clinics, 2005
Botulinum toxin is regarded as the most lethal substance known. It is estimated that the human LD50 for inhalation botulism is 1 to 3 nanograms of toxin/kilogram body mass. Although only three cases of inhalational botulism have been described, an understanding of the pathophysiology of food-borne outbreaks, wound botulism, and infant botulism, and ...

Toxicon, 2001
Shiga toxin and Shiga-like toxins belong to the group of protein toxins which have a moiety that binds to the cell surface and another enzymatically active moiety that after entry into the cytosol inhibits protein synthesis enzymatically. The toxins can also cause apoptosis by mechanisms that may be different from the effect on the protein synthesis ...

Clostridium botulinum is an anaerobic, gram-positive bacterium that secretes an extremely large neurotoxic molecule (900 kDa), which produces food poisoning or botulism. It is now also used in medicine to treat diseases according to Paracelsus's paradigm that the difference between a poison and a drug lies in the dose.

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 1999
The application of molecular techniques to the study of bacterial pathogenesis has made possible discoveries that are changing the way scientists view the bacterium-host interaction. Today, research on the molecular basis of the pathogenesis of infective diarrheal diseases of necessity transcends established boundaries between cell biology ...

Researchers from Harvard Medical School have identified mutants of the anthrax toxin that could be used in the development of a therapeutic vaccine, as reported in Science. Rats injected with mutant protective antigen and a normally lethal dose of the anthrax toxin survived, suggesting that the mutant antigen could be useful as both a vaccine and an ...
