Definition
A toxic protein actively secreted by living bacteria that can cause disease in the host. These toxins are often highly potent and can cause specific symptoms depending on their mechanism of action.
Etymology
From Greek 'exo' meaning 'outside' and 'toxikon' meaning 'poison for arrows.' The term distinguishes these actively secreted bacterial poisons from endotoxins that are structural components of bacterial cell walls.
Kelly Says
Exotoxins are like bacterial chemical warfare agents - bacteria actively manufacture and deploy these molecular weapons to attack specific targets in your body! Some are so precisely engineered that they're used in tiny doses for medical treatments, like botulinum toxin for wrinkles.
