Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The virulence properties of numerous important bacterial pathogens have been shaped by the horizontal acquisition of an AB5-type toxin. A major obstacle to the fruitful horizontal transfer of an AB5-type toxin amongst bacteria that infect divergent host species is that these toxins bind specific glycan receptors on target host cells to mediate toxin uptake, and glycosylation patterns vary substa...
