Bacterial Rhs proteins constitute a diverse family of secreted toxins. Here, the authors present a cryo-electron microscopy structure of an Rhs protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and provide insights into the mechanisms by which the protein delivers its encapsulated pore-forming toxin fragment to the ...
Toxins were the first bacterial virulence factors to be identified and were also the first link between bacteria and cell biology. Cellular microbiology was, in fact, naturally born a long time ago with the study of toxins, and only recently, thanks to the sophisticated new technologies, has it...
What Makes a Canonical Bacterial Protein Toxin: The Definition Generally, a toxin can be defined as a protein, peptide, or other substance which is produced by plants, animals, or pathogenic bacteria, and is highly poisonous for living cells in other organismsi,ii. Bacterialprotein toxinsare sec...

3.3Bacterial toxins Bacterial toxins can cause broad morbidity, including diarrhea, rash, peeling skin, fever, hypotension, and more[102], even in theabsenceof replicating bacteria. Many of these toxins need to interact with the cell membrane to exhibit their virulence. Cell membrane mimicking parti...
University of Iowa researchers have discovered what causes the lethal effects of staphylococcal infective endocarditis - a serious bacterial infection of heart valves that kills approximately 20,000 Americans each year. According to the UI study, the culprits are superantigens—toxins produced in large...

[47,48].C. difficileis characterized by forming spores that survive in the acidic environment of the stomach lumen and by producing exotoxins when germination occurs in response to exposure to bile acids in the small bowel [47]. The fact that biliary secretions that act as spore germination ...
