Biological effects of RTX toxins: the possible role of lipopolysaccharide

C J Czuprynski et al. Trends Microbiol. 1995 Dec.

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.
