The document also explores the development of vaccination using attenuated microorganisms and the successful prevention of rabies. It highlights the study of bacterial toxins, such as the diphtheria toxin, and the contributions of Pasteurians in the study of anthrax, whooping cough, respiratory diseases, and mycobacteria. Additionally, it discusses the study of cyanobacteria and their production of toxins. The article emphasizes the historical aspects of the research conducted at the Institut Pasteur in Paris and the diverse perspectives and contributions of various scientists in the field of toxinology.
