A poison produced by a pathogen that can damage host cells or tissues.

Some bacteria produce toxins, which are poisons that damage cells and tissues and make the host feel ill.

A harmful substance produced by an organism; toxins secreted by bacterial pathogens can damage body tissues and cause illness.

Distinguish the causes of harm: bacteria may release toxins, whereas viruses reproduce inside host cells and damage them.

For Salmonella symptoms, name fever, abdominal cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea, and link them to the bacteria and the toxins they secrete.

Antitoxins neutralise toxins, rather than directly killing the bacteria that produce them.
