Endotoxin refers to a component of the outer cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria called lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS is the biologically active portion of naturally occurring endotoxin complexes.

For very long, researchers have hypothesized that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxins shed from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, e.g., gut-resident Bacteroides fragilis and Escherichia ...

Bacteria can be found everywhere—even sometimes in clean rooms. That’s a problem for manufacturers of drugs and medical devices that are injected or implanted. Even if manufacturers can remove the ...

Endotoxin testing is critical in industries such as biopharmaceuticals and medical devices to ensure product safety and reliability. Endotoxins, which are lipopolysaccharides (LPS) found in ...

Many experiments show that exposure to LPS during exposure to environmental allergens protects against developing asthma or allergic disease. Yet other numerous experiments show that the presence of ...

Endotoxins, primarily lipopolysaccharides (LPS), are components of the outer membrane and cell wall of gram-negative bacteria ...

This study is reported by the team of Professor Shuang-jiang Liu from Shandong University. The study reveals that the gut probiotic Christensenella tenuis significantly alleviates endotoxemia and ...
