Question
Chapter 25.4, Problem 2TQ
Summary Introduction
To review :
The secretion of exotoxin from a pathogen.
Introduction:
Exotoxin refers to the protein toxins secreted by the microbes after attachment to the host cell. These exotoxins kill the host cells and utilize the nutrients as the host cell lyses. Microbial toxins can be of various types based on their mechanism of action.
