24
Q

kills ciliated cells
toxin is a component of peptidoglycan
disaccharride-tetrapeptide

A
tracheal cytotoxin (Nitric Oxide 􀀂NO􀀃 release) 􀀄
kills ciliated cells
toxin is a component of peptidoglycan
disaccharride-tetrapeptide
25
Q

toxin is a component of peptidoglycan
disaccharride-tetrapeptide

A

tracheal cytotoxin (causes Nitric Oxide 􀀁NO􀀂 release)
kills ciliated cells
toxin is a component of peptidoglycan
disaccharride-tetrapeptide
Most gram negative bacteria keep TCT within the cell wall by using a transporter protein to recycle it.
B. pertussis not capable of recycling TCT and it escapes to the surrounding environment.
