BTs
BTs, or "Bacterial Toxins," are harmful substances produced by certain bacteria. These toxins can disrupt normal cellular functions, leading to illness in humans and animals. Some well-known examples include the toxins from Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism, and Escherichia coli, which can lead to severe food poisoning.
In addition to their harmful effects, BTs are also studied for their potential therapeutic uses. Researchers are exploring how these toxins can be utilized in medicine, such as in targeted cancer therapies or as tools in genetic engineering. Understanding BTs is crucial for both public health and scientific advancement.
