In experiments on germ-free rats, it was noted that mono-contamination with . often led to development of transient diarrhoea, which occasionally caused death (H. et al. 1969). The significance of this finding remained unappreciated until the mid 1970s.

These toxins are exotoxins which induce morphological changes of the cultured target cells based on the redistribution of the microfilament system. The cytotoxic activity on cultured cell lines led to their designation as cytotoxins. Despite
