What Does PMT Stand For?
PMT stands for Pasteurella Multocida Toxin
PMT, or Pasteurella Multocida Toxin, is a virulent protein produced by the bacterium Pasteurella multocida, which is known to cause disease in various animal species. This toxin plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of infections, as it disrupts cellular signaling pathways, leading to tissue damage and inflammation. PMT is noteworthy in veterinary medicine for its involvement in respiratory infections, particularly in livestock, and is a subject of research for its potential applications in understanding cell signaling and developing therapeutic interventions.
