Extracellular diffusible toxins are referred to as exotoxins. They are mostly secreted by bacteria and act at tissue sites remote from the original point of bacterial invasion or growth.
Yes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces several exotoxins, including exotoxin A, which is a major virulence factor. This toxin inhibits protein synthesis in host cells, contributing to tissue damage and the severity of infections. Additionally, Pseudomonas can produce other toxins and enzymes that enhance its ability to cause disease, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.
Inside the membrane, the bacteria produce an exotoxin, which is a poisonous secretion that causes the life-threatening symptoms of diphtheria. The exotoxin is carried throughout the body in the bloodstream, destroying healthy tissue
Botox is an exotoxin. It is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and acts to inhibit neurotransmitter release, leading to a temporary paralysis of muscles.
Yes, Streptococcus pyogenes can produce exotoxins such as streptolysin O and streptolysin S, which contribute to its pathogenicity. These exotoxins can damage cell membranes and contribute to tissue destruction during infections.
Staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pyogenes
The virulence factor for diphtheria is an exotoxin named diphtheria exotoxin.

no it is exotoxin , as its a gram positve baceria
Yes, Corynebacterium diphtheriae produces an exotoxin that is responsible for the symptoms of diphtheria. This toxin inhibits protein synthesis in host cells, leading to cell death and contributing to the characteristic lesions and systemic effects of the disease. The production of this exotoxin is regulated by the presence of a specific bacteriophage, which carries the toxin gene.
Staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pyogenes
Yes, Bordetella pertussis produces an exotoxin called pertussis toxin. This toxin plays a key role in the pathogenesis of whooping cough by interfering with the host's immune response and contributing to the characteristic symptoms of the disease.
Bacillus Cereus is a rod bacteria. Found in dry cereals it is a common cause of exotoxin associated gastroenteritis.
Merriam-Webster's Official Scrabble Players Dictionary includes the 8 letter word exotoxin. It is a valid scrabble word that means an excreted toxin. The word has a scrabble point value of 22 points.
I had Scarlett Fever back in the 1940s when I was nine years old. There were no antibiotics at that time. I was treated with Sulfa drugs. I was sick in bed for 6 weeks with a high fever. When the doctor said I was able to get up I was not able to walk. My father carried me around for a few days until I got my strength back. The illness left me with a minor heart murmur.
