What substances produced by bacteria are neutralised by antitoxins?
Answer (2)
Antitoxins are antibodies that neutralize harmful toxins produced by bacteria, such as those from Clostridium tetani , Corynebacterium diphtheriae , and Clostridium botulinum . They bind to these toxins, rendering them harmless, and vaccinations can stimulate the production of antitoxins for protection. This is crucial in preventing severe diseases linked to these bacterial toxins.
