|
Endotoxin
|
potentially toxic, natural compounds found inside pathogens such as bacteria. Toxin is not secreted in soluble form by live bacteria, but is a structural component in the bacteria which is released mainly when bacteria are lysed.
|
|
Exotoxin
|
soluble protein excreted by a microorganism, including bacteria, fungi, algae, and protozoa. An exotoxin can cause damage to the host by destroying cells or disrupting normal cellular metabolism. Both gram negative and gram positive bacteria produce exotoxins. They are highly potent and can cause major damage to the host. Exotoxins may be secreted, or, similar to endotoxins, may be released during lysis of the cell.

Gram positive and gram negative
|
Gram-positive bacteria have more peptidoglycan layers in their cell walls than Gram-negative and so are able to retain a crystal violet dye during the Gram stain process. Gram-positive bacteria appear blue or violet under a microscope, whereas Gram-negative bacteria appear red or pink.
