Bacterial Toxins Are a Never-Ending Source of Surprises: From Natural Born Killers to Negotiators

17 Jun 2021

Abstract excerpt

The idea that bacterial toxins are not only killers but also execute more sophisticated roles during bacteria-host interactions by acting as negotiators has been highlighted in the past decades. Depending on the toxin, its cellular target and mode of action, the final regulatory outcome can be different. In this review, we have focused on two families of bacterial toxins: genotoxins and pore-forming toxins, which...
