Endotoxin, found in Gram negative bacteria, can cause shock, tissue injury, and death. It interacts with the immune system, causing an inflammatory response. Genetically modified bacteria used in production require purification to remove endotoxins. Endotoxin is a common contaminant of medical products that comes from bacteria. The presence of endotoxins can derive from intrinsic components […]
Endotoxins are compounds found in the cell walls of Gram negative bacteria that cause health problems in people and animals when released after the bacteria die. They can resist sterilization methods and cause inflammatory processes, but can be identified through blood tests and removed from cultures in the laboratory. Endotoxins are compounds present in the […]
