antitoxin
antibody that counteracts toxin (artifical passive, purified antserum from animals)
Toxoid
Inactivated toxin (still antigenic, artificial active VACCINE)
endo toxin
Lipid portion of lipopolysaccharides (cell wall of pathogenic bacteria) (gram negative) (Heat stable) (Salmonella, influenza)
Exotoxin
proteins produced in pathogenic bacteria (gram positive) heat Labile cook foods, streptococcus, botulism, pertussis
Enterotoxin
protein polypeptide, target intesitne,vibero cholera/foodpoisining
Neurotoxin
nervous system, botulism, tetanus
vector
living organism that transfers agent
fomite
