Abstract

Bacterial toxins play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. These potent molecules are produced by various bacterial pathogens and exert deleterious effects on the host. Understanding the mechanisms by which bacterial toxins contribute to disease progression is of utmost importance for developing effective therapeutic strategies. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on the role of bacterial toxins in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, highlighting their diverse modes of action and the implications for host immune responses. By elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying toxin-mediated pathogenicity, researchers can pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions and preventive measures to combat infectious diseases.
