bacterial toxin production and host immune response: review of the evidence," Current Therapeutic Research- Clinical and Experimental, vol.
It is now well-accepted that this potent
bacterial toxin plays an important role in producing necrotizing fasciitis (NF), the rapid infection of soft tissue referred to as flesh-eating" disease.
Scientists have known for about a decade that defensins can neutralize
bacterial toxins but, until now, did not know how.
In this case the
bacterial toxins, which cause the immune response, are more likely to be from gram-negative bacteria.

Once Shigella encounters immune system cells, including white blood cells such as macrophages, the bacteria use a needle-like complex to inject the cells with about 20
bacterial toxins. The researchers conducted a series of experiments to characterize one of those toxins, called IpaJ, chosen in part because so little was known about the protein.
Shiga toxins represent a group of
bacterial toxins that are involved in the most serious forms of food poisoning.
She fell victim to septic shock after
bacterial toxins invaded her bloodstream.
The poisoning is caused by
bacterial toxins and pesticides that are used randomly in the planting and growth of fruits and vegetables.
Approximately 60 litres of water is used and this loosens accumulated matter from the inner walls of the colon as well as diluting and flushing out
bacterial toxins.
One small, unnoticed error in canning can result in the growth of harmful (and often unnoticeable) bacteria and
bacterial toxins. This is most likely to happen if foods are not processed properly or lids are not completely intact.
