Inhibition of cholera toxin production by thiols in Vibrio cholerae.

PMCID: PMC260851  PMID: 3744560

Abstract

We found that thiols reduced the amount of cholera toxin produced by Vibrio cholerae 569B in vitro. A sulfhydryl group at least was necessary for the reduction of cholera toxin production by thiols.
