Any toxin secreted by a microorganism and released into the surrounding environment only when it dies
A lipopolysaccharide (linkage of molecules of lipds with polysaccharides) that is part of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria (CMD 1997)
The complex phospholipid-polysaccharide macromolecules which form an integral part of the cell wall of a variety of relatively avirulent as well as virulent strains of Gram-negative bacteria The toxins are relatively heat-stable, are less potent than most exotoxins, are less specific, and do not form toxoids; on injection, they may cause a state of shock accompanied by severe diarrhea, and, in smaller doses, fever and leukopenia followed by leukocytosis
A poisonous substance produced by microorganisms that is not secreted into the surrounding medium but confined within the microbial cell
a toxin that is confined inside the microorganisms and is released only when the microorganisms are broken down or die
A toxin produced within a microorganism and released when the microorganism disintegrates
A toxin the originates inside the body (For example, from certain by-products of digestion )
a lipopolysaccharide component of the membrane of gram-negative bacteria that is heat stable and toxic; a secreted toxin produced by bacteria is termed an "exotoxin"
Any of a class of poisonous substances present in bacteria but separable fromt he cell body only on its disintegration
A toxin produced by bacteria The toxin is present in the environment only after death of the bacteria
Part of the outer wall of a gram-negative bacteria It can cause fever, changes in white blood cell counts, increased airway resistance, shock, and even death
a biological agent that is part of the outer membrane of some bacteria Endotoxins are highly toxic, capable of causing fever, malaise, respiratory distress, even death
-- a toxic metabolite produced by some bacteria, which may cause a variety of adverse health effects in humans
