Enterotoxins
They
stimulate
the
cells
of
gastrointestinal
tracts.
Various
enteropathogenic
bacteria
like
Salmonella,
Shigella,
and
Vibrio
spp.
produce
enterotoxins.
The
enterotoxin
choleragen
of
Vibrio
cholerae
inhibits
the
conversion
of
cyclic
AMP
to
ATP
by
increasing
the
activity
of
adenyl
cyclase
