1. Exotoxins are also produced by some A . flavus " ).2. The production of two powerful exotoxins and lethal toxin by the bacteria causes death. 3. This exotoxin is known as alpha toxin. 4. Bacterial pyrogens include endotoxins and exotoxins , although many pyrogens are endogenous to the host. 5. In the staph infection, exotoxins are released directly into the blood by the live bacteria. 6. Bacteria cause myonecrosis by specific exotoxins . 7. This exotoxin causes necrosis of the intestines, varying levels of hemorrhaging and perforation of the intestine. 8. Enterotoxins are chromosomally encoded or plasmid encoded exotoxins that are produced and secreted from several bacterial organisms. 9. Large numbers of " C . perfringens " grow in the intestines, and secrete exotoxin . 10. The toxic properties of most exotoxins can be inactivated by heat or chemical treatment to produce a toxoid.
