Bacterial endotoxins originate from Gram-negative bacteria, which, after death, are released to the environment where they encounter lipopolysaccharides, which constitute their cell wall and which are highly toxic substances to other organisms. These endotoxins are considered to be the most frequently reported pyrogens. Bacterial endotoxins cause infections that can be very serious, which may even lead to the death of human beings.
