- trivalent exotoxin: protective antigen, edema factor, lethal factor
- Bacillus anthracis
- anti-phagocytic capsule composed of D-glutamic acid
- Bacillus anthracis
- anti-phagocytic capsule composed of sialic acid
- Streptococcus agalactiae
- anti-phagocytic capsule composed of hyaluronic acid
- Pasteurella multocida
- Ab toxin that catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to Gi (inhibitory subunit)
- Bordetella pertussis
- filamentous hemagglutin and tracheal cytotoxin
- Bordetella pertussis
- exotoxin that blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction
- Clostridium botulinum
- toxin causes flaccid paralysis, can be used cosmetically to get rid of wrinkles
- Clostridium botulinum
- AB toxin that ADP-ribosylates the GTP binding protein Rho, leading to necrosis of the colon
- Clostridium difficile
- double zone of hemolysis on blood agar, produces hyaluronidase and lecithinase (seen on yolk agar)
- Clostridium perfringens
- produces hyaluronidase and lecithinase that leads to cellulitis and myonecrosis
- Clostridium perfringens
- toxin inhibits release of GABA, and glycine, causing spastic paralysis
- Clostridium tetani
- heat stable toxin Sta, stimulates production of cGMP
- Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
- able to grow intracellularly, produces cord factor (granulomas)
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- toxin irreversibly inactivates the 60S ribosomal subunit causing cell death
- Shigella dysenteriae
- exfoliant toxin, Scalded skin syndrome
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Toxic shock syndrome
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Protein A which binds to the Fc region of an antibody
- Staphylococcus aureus
- M antigen, chronic rhuematic heart disease
- Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A)
- AB toxin that transfers ADP-ribose from NAD+ to Gs(stimulatory subunit)
- Vibrio cholerae
