A

false. produced by bordetella

46
Q

What are the five toxins of bordetella? What do they do?

A

1) Trachael cytotoxin - damages ciliated epithelial cell
2) dermonectrotic toxin - affects actin cytoskeleton, inhibits osteoblasts (atrophic rhinitis)
3) adenyl cyclase toxin - pore forming, rereg. ion and fluid flow, hemolytic, reduces phagocytic capacity of leukocytes
4) pertussis toxin (B. pertussis only) - loss of fluids and ions, inhibits phagocytes
5) osteotoxin - lethal to trachael and bone cells
