  • Title: Cell injury and death caused by bacterial protein toxins.
    Author: Donelli G, Fiorentini C.
    Journal: Toxicol Lett; 1992 Dec; 64-65 Spec No():695-9. PubMed ID: 1471224.
    Abstract:
    Bacterial protein toxins, such as Clostridium difficile toxin A and the Escherichia coli cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 are known to exert their cytotoxic action via a modification of some cytoskeletal components. The changes in actin organization caused by these toxins appear to be the primary events in the mechanism leading to cell death.
