1. Made by Gram positive, non-sporeforming rod-shaped bacteria
that infect the throat, this toxin can enter host cells and
inactivate the 80S ribosomes.
2. Made by Gram positive, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria
that grow anaerobically and infect wounds, this toxin causes
uncontrollable muscle spasms by blocking the release of inhibitory
neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction.
3. Made by Gram negative bacteria that are shaped like slightly
bent rods, this toxin causes fluid to flow into the large
intestines resulting in severe diarrhea.
4. Made by Gram positive cocci, this toxin causes clotting of
the blood plasma.
