In molecular Biology the B protein from Cholera toxin is used to identify gangliosides (an important class of biological compounds) visually with a microscope. This enables researchers to perform advanced experiments on many different diseases.
Many promising drugs for treatment of brain disorders are rendered ineffective because they can not get past the "blood-brain barrier". Within the last month, researchers reported that they have been able to use a toxin from Rabies to successfully administer a drug of their choice into brain tissue. (Rabies is a virus not a bacteria though...)
A beneificial use is that researchers can perform advanced experiments on many different diseases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One example is Clostridium botulinum. This bacterium produces the infamous "Botox" we all hear about. The botulinum toxin causes flaccid paralysis, thus muscles cannot contract because acetylcholine is not able to be released into the synapse from the pre-synaptic vessicle and bind to the post-synaptic vessicle. Therefore the muscles cannot contract. Botox injections use this incredibly potent toxin in excedingly small amounts injected into the muscles of the face to prevent contraction, thus those wrinkles cannot be seen if you can't use your muscles. The opposite is the tetanospasmin toxin also from Clostridium bacterium (Clostridium tetani) that causes spastic paralysis (often reffered to as lock jaw). This occurs from the inability to prevent or stop muscle contraction by inhibition of inhibitory neurotransmitters such as GABA and glycine.
the acute bacterial infection whose toxins can damage the heart muscle and peripheral nerves is what

Poisons produced by pathogenic bacteria are called "bacterial toxins."
It removes toxins and metabolizes things such as medicine and alcohol.
antitoxins
What causes bacteria to produce toxins is metabolism. The toxins are not intended to be poisons. They are like the exhaust of a car, they are the biproducts of their body processes of life. So in other words, it's bacterial pee and poo.
Yes, Toxic Shock syndrome (TSS) is a bacterial infection where certain bacteria release toxins into the body. The bacteria responsible are staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pyogenes.
Bacterial invasion typically involves attachment, entry, replication, and spreading within host cells or tissues. Bacteria can use various mechanisms like adhesion proteins, secretion systems, or toxins to facilitate invasion. Once inside, they can evade host defense mechanisms and cause damage through toxins or inflammation.
Essential oils are very beneficial for your health, beauty, and wellness. Free yourself from the chemicals, toxins in cleaners, medicines, skin and hair products. Make your own with essential oils.
Bacteria produce toxins as a byproduct. They are formed when the bacteria produce energy for themselves by changing one substance into another, and in some cases, there are byproducts, some of which can be toxins.
