Substances toxic to the cells of the intestinal mucosa, normally produced by bacteria.
A toxin specific for cells of the intestine. Gives rise to symptoms of food poisoning.
Toxins excreted by the cells into the gastrointestinal tract of animals.

Poison produced by or originating in the intestinal contents; often refers to a toxin made by bacteria under various disease conditions such as food poisoning or toxic shock syndrome.
A toxin found in contaminated food that causes vomiting, diarrhea, and possibly serious gastrointestinal illness.
A bacterial toxin that causes an adverse reaction in the lining of the intestine. Enterotoxin is produced by certain types of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus. Reactions to enterotoxin infection include vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, and other symptoms of food poisoning. Only supportive care is required because the illness passes spontaneously.

A toxin produced in or originating in the intestinal contents.
An affliction of detrimental proteins discharged by bacteria and other pathogenic agents, which specifically impact the integrity of the intestinal lining tissues.
Enterotoxins are toxins produced by specific bacteria that trigger inflammation in the intestinal lining, resulting in symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting. These toxins are responsible for causing the characteristic symptoms of diseases such as cholera and staphylococcal food poisoning.
