Abstract:
RTX toxins are a family of related exotoxins with hemolytic, leukotoxi c and leukocyte-stimulating activities that are produced by a diverse array of Gram-negative bacteria. Lipopolysaccharide might be required for the maximal production of some RTX toxins and might be a cofactor in some of the biological effects of RTX toxins.
