In these cases, the transition from the solid to the gaseous state requires an intermediate liquid state. The pressure referred to is the partial pressure of the substance, not the total (e.g. atmospheric) pressure of the entire system.
Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic disease caused by a bacterial toxin usually produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are four generally recognized naturally-occurring types; foodborne, wound, infant, and, rarely, adult intestinal colonization. Iatrogenic and inhalational botulism may also occur.
1 FUNGAL EXPOSURE: TOXICITY & IMMUNOLOGY There are four mechanisms by which fungal toxins cause pathology. One mechanism involves the direct toxic effects of fungi, molds, and yeast. The other three are exaggerated immune system reactions to fungal antigens.1.The direct toxic effects of ochratoxins, aflatoxins, and tricothecenes.ne mechanism involves the direct toxic effects of fungi, molds, and yeast.
