I had to Google endotoxin to understand what you are talking about. As a bacteria, would BAC water be strong enough to kill it?
Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides (LPS) forming the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria (e.g., E. coli , Salmonella), acting as a structural, protective barrier. Released upon bacterial lysis, they cause fever, septic shock, inflammation, and sepsis by inducing massive immune responses, specifically via Lipid A.
Key Aspects of Endotoxin:
Location: Found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.
Functions: Provides structural integrity, protects against host defenses, and maintains bacterial viability.
Structure: Composed of three parts: Lipid A (toxic component), core polysaccharide, and O-antigen.
Immune Response: Triggers innate immunity by activating macrophages to release inflammatory mediators like TNFα.
Diseases/Symptoms: Causes severe fever, inflammation, septic shock, and diarrhea.
Detection: Tested using Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assays, which use horseshoe crab blood to detect minute amounts.
