The thermostable direct hemolysin from Grimontia hollisae causes acute hepatotoxicity in vitro and in vivo.
<h4>Background</h4>G. hollisae thermostable direct hemolysin (Gh-TDH) is produced by most strains of G. hollisae. This toxin has been reported to be absorbed in the intestines in humans. Secondary liver injury might be caused by venous return of the toxin through the portal system. We ai...
