Chapter 23, Problem 10RQ
Summary Introduction
The kinds of toxins associated with the outer cell wall of “gram negative bacteria” and mainly composed of lipopolysacharrides are termed as endotoxins. These kinds of toxins are released during the lyses of the cell. They are non specific in nature and exhibit a poor immune response. The symptoms pertaining to endotoxins include vomiting, diarrhea and fever in almost all the cases. These kinds of toxins have been well researched in different species of bacteria like Escherichia, Salmonella, and Shigella.
