11. Enterotoxins are chromosomally encoded or plasmid encoded exotoxins that are produced and secreted from several bacterial organisms.12. EMRSA16 has been found to be identical to the enterotoxin A and toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 genes. 13. For examples, cholera and heat-labile enterotoxin target the EF-2, which attenuates protein synthesis. 14. These enterotoxins are all produced in the small intestine of the host, thus thwarting digestion by host endogenous enzymes. 15. An "'enterotoxin "'is a protein exotoxin released by a microorganism that targets the intestines. 16. For several months following the November order, the Army continued working on staphylococcus enterotoxin type B ( SEB ). 17. A cholera-like enterotoxin was once thought to be also made, but this appears not to be the case. 18. GM1 has important physiological properties and impacts E . coli heat-labile enterotoxin ( Traveller's diarrhea ) . 6 19. Certain strains of " E . coli ", such as heat-stable and heat-labile enterotoxins . 20. Toxins that can be used as weapons include ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin B, botulinum toxin, saxitoxin, and many mycotoxins.
