Examples of enterotoxin
enterotoxin
These were caused by enterotoxin-producing strains of the bacterium Vibrio cholerae.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The symptoms arise from ingestion of preformed enterotoxin, which accounts for the short incubation time.

Expression of the enterotoxin genes is often under the control of global virulence gene regulatory systems.

Ironically, the protein is a non-poisonous part of the enterotoxin that causes so many cases of the squits.

The enterotoxin genes are found on prophages, plasmids, and pathogenicity islands in different strains of S. aureus.

In the same way researchers mutated the gene that produces the heat-labile enterotoxin, which is known to produce an immune response.

And at the NRL, Cy Tamanaha has had similar success detecting ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin B and other potential bioweapons.
From the economist.com
The enterotoxin genes are accessory genetic elements in S. aureus, meaning not all strains of this organism are enterotoxin-producing.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A team at Bristol University has been studying a toxin called heat-labile enterotoxin from a diarrhoea-causing strain of E. coli.
From the newscientist.com
- A cytotoxin specific for the cells of the intestinal mucosa
- An enterotoxin (not to be confused with endotoxin) is a protein toxin released by a microorganism in the intestine.
- A poison produced by Staphylococcus aureus that causes illness when injested by humans.
- A bacterial protein that, following release into the intestine, causes cramps, diarrhoea and nausea.
- Proteins produced by bacteria that are either ingested as pre-formed toxins or are produced by a pathogen that has colonised the gastro-intestinal tract. Usually the toxin has specific targets and either disrupts cell function or kills the cell.
