This video provides an in-depth exploration of the mechanism of action of diphtheria toxin, a potent exotoxin produced by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Viewers will gain insights into how the toxin interferes with protein synthesis in host cells, leading to cellular damage and the clinical manifestations of diphtheria. The presentation includes detailed illustrations and animations to enhance understanding of the biochemical pathways involved. #DiphtheriaToxin #MechanismOfAction #biochemistry This educational video examines the mechanism of action of diphtheria toxin, elucidating how it exerts its effects on human cells. The content focuses on the toxin’s ability to inhibit protein synthesis, a process that ultimately leads to cell death and contributes to the severity of diphtheria. Through clear explanations and visual aids, viewers will enhance their understanding of this significant microbial toxin. #Microbiology #DiphtheriaToxin #CellBiology
