Pore-forming toxins have been shown to closely relate to the pathogenicity of the toxin-producing organism <ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1930675<ref> Both gram positive and gram negative bacteria are producers of hemolysins, as well as some clinically relevant fungi. Toxin secretion facillitates the availability of water, ions, and small molecules like sugar for the secreting pathogen. | Pore-forming toxins have been shown to closely relate to the pathogenicity of the toxin-producing organism <ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1930675<ref> Both gram positive and gram negative bacteria are producers of hemolysins, as well as some clinically relevant fungi.
