New cell-killing toxin discovered in an environmental pathogen

Using the Australian Synchrotron researchers at the La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science (LIMS) and the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment were able to see the molecular structure of the Ssp toxin from the bacterial pathogen Serratia marcescens. Researchers estimate that the structure of a new toxin class has not been determined in almost a decade.
