Molecular characterization of an RTX toxin determinant from Actinobacillus suis
Abstract
RTX cytolysins are a family of calcium-dependent, pore-forming, secreted toxins found in a variety of gram-negative bacteria. The prototypical member of this family is the alpha-hemolysin of Escherichia coli. The RTX genetic determinants from seven members of the family Pasteurellaceae, Pasteurella haemolytica, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, and A. pleuropneumoniae serotypes 1,5,7, and 9 were previously cloned and sequenced. Using the …
