Abstract

This article presents the genetic determination, synthesis and activation of hemolysins produced by mentioned above bacteria, as well as the possible role of these toxins in the pathogenicity. All these cytolysins are related to RTX proteins presented to the previous paper. The short information about cytotoxic proteins from other Gram-negative bacteria (P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, Vibrionaceae, G. vaginalis) and homologous proteins from E. chrysanthemi and R. leguminosarum biovar viciae are also included.
