What Causes Throat Mucus & Phlegm? Post Nasal Drip:Post nasal drip occurs when an excessive amount of mucus accumulation in the nose and throat creates phlegm and causes coughing. Cold or Flu: During a cold or the flu, there is a production of clear, thin mucus in the nose and back of the throat.
C. diphtheriae produces diphtheria toxin which alters protein function in the host by inactivating the elongation factor EF-2. This causes pharyngitis and 'pseudomembrane' in the throat. The diphtheria toxin gene is encoded by a bacteriophage found in toxigenic strains, integrated into the bacterial chromosome.
