Microbial toxins : current research and future trends

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "Toxins are important virulence determinants responsible for microbial pathogenicity and/or evasion of the host immune response. Understanding toxin molecular and cellular biology is critical for the development of new anti-toxin strategies, particularly for those with bioterrorism capablity. Indeed potential applications of toxin research extend beyond simply combating microbial virulence and include the development of novel anti-cancer drugs and other front-line medicines, use of toxins as tools in neurobiology and cellular biology, etc. This timely volume serves as an update on the most important recent advances. Written by internationally respected scientists, topics reviewed include: toxins carried by mobile genetic elements, botulinum neurotoxins, anthrax, subtilase cytotoxin, Pasteurella multocida toxin, RTX toxins of vibrios, vacA toxin, staphylococcal immune evasion toxins and fungal ribotoxins."
