Bacterial Toxins - Bacterial endotoxin - LPS and virulence of G- bacteria
3 important questions on Bacterial Toxins - Bacterial endotoxin - LPS and virulence of G- bacteria
5 Ways in which O poly may be involved in virulence
1. Adherence
2. Resistance to phagocytes; rough more engulfed
3. Carriers for toxic lipid A
4. Keeping atb's away from the membrane by binding them at the ends of the O poly relatively far away
5. Antigenic variation

5. Antigenic variation
Another important characteristic of o poly
Smoothness --> resistance to phagocytes
Injection of lipid A may cause (6)
1. Fever
2. Shock
3. Death
4. Change in white blood cell counts
5. Intravascular coagulation
