Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT, Dermonecrotic Toxin ) is a protein from Pasteurella multocida and a microbial exotoxin .

properties

PMT is a necrotizing toxin that affects the skin and bones . It is also a mitogen and promotes cell division due to the deamination of heterotrimeric G proteins on the α subunit in types G (q), G (i) and G (12/13). PMT is instrumental in the development of atrophic rhinitis in pigs, along with the dermonecrotic toxin from Bordetella .
