  2. Enterotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterotoxin

    Enterotoxins have a particularly marked effect upon the gastrointestinal tract, causing traveler's diarrhea and food poisoning. The action of enterotoxins leads to increased chloride ion permeability of the apical membrane of intestinal mucosal cells.

  3. Heat-stable enterotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-stable_enterotoxin

    Heat-stable enterotoxins (STs) are secretory peptides produced by some bacterial strains, such as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli [2] which are in general toxic to animals. These peptides keep their 3D structure and remain active at temperatures as high as 100 °C.

    Studies have shown that esophageal cancer can be related back to corn grain that contains fumonisins. [38] Other effects from fumonisins are birth defects of the brain, spine, and spinal cord. [38] In animals, problems with the pulmonary edema and hydrothorax swines have been proven to have association with fumonisins. [38]

  5. Staphylococcal enteritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcal_enteritis

    Enterotoxins are chromosomally encoded exotoxins that are produced and secreted from several bacterial organisms. It is a heat stable toxin and is resistant to digestive protease. [5] [6] It is the ingestion of the toxin that causes the inflammation and swelling of the intestine. [citation needed]

  6. Cholera toxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholera_toxin

    Koch's postulation was proven correct by Indian microbiologist Sambhu Nath De, who in 1951 studied and documented the effects of injecting rabbits with heat-killed cholera bacteria. [5] He concluded from this experiment that an endotoxin liberated upon disintegration of the bacteria was the cause of the symptoms of cholera. [ 5 ]

  7. Exotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotoxin

    Different STs recognize distinct receptors on the cell surface and thereby affect different intracellular signaling pathways. For example, STa enterotoxins bind and activate membrane-bound guanylate cyclase, which leads to the intracellular accumulation of cyclic GMP and downstream effects on several signaling pathways. These events lead to the ...

    Campylobacter jejuni is a species of pathogenic bacteria that is commonly associated with poultry, and is also often found in animal feces.This species of microbe is one of the most common causes of food poisoning in Europe and in the US, with the vast majority of cases occurring as isolated events rather than mass outbreaks.
