Recent Research On The Issue Of Bacterial Endotoxins

Bacterial endotoxins are the most common pyrogens found in pharmaceutical products. These substances are found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and when cell lysis occurs in bacteria, they are released to the environment where the bacteria are located. In mammals, bacterial endotoxins, which are lipopolysaccharide molecules, cause various conditions that can lead to such serious complications as a septic shock. Therefore, it is important to have reliable procedures for the detection of bacterial endotoxins both in the industry and in research laboratories.
