(en-doh-toks-in) A component of the outer membranes of certain gram-negative bacteria responsible for generalized symptoms of fever and ache.

Toxin that forms an integral part of the cell wall of certain bacteria and is released only upon breakdown of the bacterial cell.; endotoxins do not form toxoids.

A type of toxin that is produced within a living thing and is released upon destruction of that living thing, usually along with its disintegration or decomposition

A toxin present inside a bacterial cell.

A term for lipopolysaccharides deriving from the cell wall of gram negative bacteria. For excipients to be used in inhalation or injectable dosage forms it is important to control the level of endotoxin to a low level of typically not more than 5 EU per gram.

(n) a toxin that is confined inside the microorganisms and is released only when the microorganisms are broken down or die

toxins released by certain bacteria.

A substance found in the cell walls of some bacteria that causes toxic shock, fever, and inflammation in mammals.

A toxin contained in the cell walls of some microorganisms, especially gram-negative bacteria, that is released when the bacterium dies and is broken down in the body. Fever, chills, shock, and a vari [..]

a poisonous substance that is released when some bacteria are destroyed

A poison produced by Escherichia coli that causes systemic response (fever, diarrhea, inappetence) to coliform mastitis in cows. Enterococci:

A toxin associated with the outer membranes of bacteria, especially gram-negative bacteria. When these bacteria are destroyed, as will happen during the MP, endotoxins

Microbial toxin, such as a cell-surface polysaccharide, that is not easily separated from the cell.

Toxins that are present on the outer membrane or the cell of many gram-negative bacteria. They are released on the death of the bacteria

A heat-stable toxin associated with the outer membranes of certain gram-negative bacteria, including Brucella, Neisseria, and Vibrio species.

A lipolysaccharide molecule that is part of the outer cell wall of gram-negative bacteria. When ingested or respired, endotoxins can cause fever, changes in white blood cell counts, increased airway r [..]

A poisonous substance present in the cell walls of Gram negative bacteria.
