    In the globalizing world, food safety and food-borne pathogenic microorganisms are among the important public health problems. There are more than 250 known foodborne diseases and many different types of viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, metals and prions that cause these diseases. Toxic molecules generated by bacteria, whether within or outside the organisms, are commonly referred to as "toxins". Toxins serve as the primary virulence factors generated by a multitude of bacteria responsible for causing severe illnesses in both humans and animals. Toxins are the primary bacterial component leading to health problems. This chapter provides information about bacterial toxins.

    3Kemal GÜVEN is currently a professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics Department in Dicle University, Turkey. He completed his PhD in Nottingham University (England) in 1994 titled “Invertebrate stress responses as molecular biomarkers in ecotoxicology”. He gained research scholarships from some associations such as Royal Society of Britain and CNR-Napoli-Italy. He had studied on a variety of subjects, including stres proteins, transgenic animals, biomarkers, the effects of heavy metals and pesticides, environmental biotechnology, the isolation and identification of thermophilic and petroleum degrading bacteria, the cloning and purification of biotechnologically important thermotolerant enzymes including beta-galactosidases and nitroreductases, and the various effects of nanoparticules on bacteria.
