FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Toxin-mediated infection combines features of foodborne infection and foodborne intoxication. The bacteria cause illness by producing toxins while growing in the human intestines.

Detailed explanation-2: -A toxin-mediated infection is a disease that results from eating food containing live germs. These kinds of germs would colonize the stomach or intestine, making toxin as they live and grow. The toxin produced inside the body causes the food borne illness symptoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -In infectious diseases and clinical microbiology, the term “toxin” typically refers to molecules that are produced by microorganisms that may affect cells in the infected host.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria toxins which can be classified as either exotoxins or endotoxins. Exotoxins are generated and actively secreted; endotoxins remain part of the bacteria. Usually, an endotoxin is part of the bacterial outer membrane, and it is not released until the bacterium is killed by the immune system.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bacterial toxins are virulence factors that manipulate host cell functions and take over the control of vital processes of living organisms to favor microbial infection. Some toxins directly target innate immune cells, thereby annihilating a major branch of the host immune response.
