To start with, we feel that we should explain why the book has been
entitled Cholera Toxins. In fact, the enterotoxin secreted by
Vibrio cholerae, which is p- marily responsible for causation of
the disease, is conventionally known as or referred to as cholera
toxin, or CT. By using the word "toxins" (in its plural form), we
wanted to cover all of the different types of toxins-and not just
CT-produced by V. cholerae. We could have used the title Toxins of
Vibrio cholerae, but we believe that Cholera Toxins is simpler and
equally as expressive. However, due to its relative importance, the
story of CT covers most of this book. Also, compared to all other
toxins of V. cholerae, CT has been investigated more extensively.
This book was jointly written by us. It is not a multiauthor book
in which each expert writes one chapter. In that respect our task
is harder. On the other hand, it has given us the unique
opportunity to present the entire subject in the way that we
conceived it. Besides, our objective is to cater to the needs of
not only active research scientists but also students from
different disciplines-microbiology, molecular physiology and
pharmacology, basic medicines, etc. -and as such, we have attempted
to present the subject in a way that will be appreciated by general
readers. Further, we have provided some information that students
and predoctoral researchers may find useful at the end of the book.
