are present in E. coli similar to many other Gram- negative bacteria Endotoxins
They are part of the outer layer of the cell wall. Embedded in the outer membrane of the cell Endotoxins
It is a complex phospholipids-polysaccharide-protein macromolecule Endotoxins
Endotoxins are released in soluble form during bacterial growth and liberated when bacteria lyse Endotoxins
They are less toxic than exotoxins Endotoxins
Pyrogenic Endotoxins
Causes leucopenia, hypotension Endotoxins
Complement activation Endotoxins
Intravascular coagulation Endotoxins
Death Endotoxins
also produce EXOTOXINS Certain strains of E. coli (ETEC
Certain strains of E. coli (ETEC) also produce EXOTOXINS Two types Heat-labile and Heat-stable exotoxin
Large immunogenic portion Heat labile type
Non-immunogenic Heat stable type
These exotoxins are produced in the intestines ENTEROTOXINS
They attach to different receptors on the intestinal epithelium ENTEROTOXINS
ENTEROTOXINS activate adenylate cyclase which results in increased cAMP
The increased cAMP causes hyper secretion of water and chlorides into the gut lumen resulting in fluid loss
