RTX toxins are a family of related exotoxins with hemolytic, leukotoxi c and leukocyte-stimulating activities that are produced by a diverse array of Gram-negative bacteria. Lipopolysaccharide might be required for the maximal production of some RTX toxins and might be a cofactor in some of the biological effects of RTX toxins.
RTX毒素是一类相关的外毒素家族，具有溶血、白细胞毒性和刺激白细胞活性，由多种革兰氏阴性细菌产生。脂多糖可能是某些RTX毒素最大产量所必需的，并且可能是RTX毒素某些生物学效应的辅助因子。
