Merge?

Is this article needed? There is some nice material here, but there is already an existing article on bacterial toxins, which seems to encompass all the material in this article except for the short section on fungal ribotoxins. What do you think of merging the information into other articles and turning this into a disambiguation page? Looie496 (talk) 17:57, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would recommend 'Microbial toxin' search to give a choice of two links, one for bacteria and one for fungal toxins (strange more hasn't been written about fungal toxins, there're many papers on it).

I agree, its better to merge the two pages to make a single page with the title: Microbial Toxins. Various toxins from microbial origin (bacterial, fungal and archaeal) can be described there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Horoporo (talk • contribs) 04:34, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Edits

Would it be appropriate to include two of the general mechanisms of action for most bacterial toxins. This may also be talked about in the Exotoxin page. Are there other specific topics that should be added to update this article? Prokarylotic Lover (talk) 06:29, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
