This volume describes the structure and function of bacterial toxins and presents a comprehensive review of

virulence factors, providing recent information concerning cell physiology and biochemistry, as well as new toxin tools

for experimental studies and clinical therapy. A wide variety of toxic proteins, including the toxins that cause diptheria, cholera, pertussis, shigellosis, tetanus, botulism and anthrax, are discussed.;

The work is aimed at microbiologists, biochemists, endocrinologists, toxicologists, infectious disease specialists, pathologists, public health officials, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
