Answer 2

Answer:

Bacterial pathogens often damage their host through the action of toxins. Bacterial toxins modify host targets, primarily proteins, through covalent and non-covalent mechanisms and have several structure-function organizations, including exotoxins and type III secreted cytotoxins.

Explanation:

Bacterial toxins, typically the culprits of “food poisoning,” cause illness by the GI tract's reaction to the toxin when ingested. The most common examples include Bacillus sp, Camp ylobacter sp., Clostridium sp., Salmonella Shigella sp,Listeria sp E.
