What is Toxin mediated infection?
A toxin-mediated infection is caused when a living organism is consumed with food (as in the case of an infection). Once the organism is inside the human body, it produces a toxin that causes the illness. Toxin-mediated infection is different from an intoxication because the toxin is produced inside the human body. An example of an organism that causes this type of illness is Clostridium perfringens.
