How will you differentiate a bacterial toxin from an antibiotic?
Answer
Bacterial toxins are harmful substances produced by bacteria that can cause disease by damaging host cells or tissues, while antibiotics are drugs used to treat bacterial infections by inhibiting bacterial growth or killing bacteria. Toxins are generally proteins or peptides with specific effects on host cells, whereas antibiotics have diverse chemical structures and mechanisms of action.
