Exotoxin in Bacteria
Abstract
In this article, the characteristics, mechanisms of action and medical importance of exotoxins in bacteria are investigated. Exotoxins are protein-derived toxins secreted by bacteria, and their strong toxic effects damage various tissues and systems of the body and cause serious diseases. Toxins lead to disruption of cell membranes, cessation of protein synthesis or dysfunction of the nervous system. In the medical field, exotoxins play an important role in the development of diagnostic methods, the development of vaccines and the improvement of treatment methods. The article states that a deeper investigation of the mechanisms of action of exotoxins and the development of new strategies for their neutralization can contribute to the development of modern medical science and the effective control of infectious diseases.
Keywords: bacteria, exotoxins, diagnostics, infectious diseases, biotechnology
