What do Gram-Negative bacteria cause?
Gram-Negative bacteria infection leads to endotoxemia in which the endotoxin (a toxic substance associated with bacteria cell wall or core) come in contact with blood streams and gets mixed with blood. Once the endotoxin is mixed in blood, it becomes very hard to stop the toxic substance from harming/destroying healthy tissues and also causing inflammation of the tissues. The substance can reach any part of the body and start harm to the tissues. The Gram-Negative bacteria can be killed using medication but the endotoxin substance is very hard to clean from the blood. Generally millions of Gram-Negative bacteria are present in animal intestine and a very small level of endotoxin associated with these bacteria is also cleaned/detoxified by liver, but once the level of endotoxin increases it may reach blood streams and spread to various parts of the body. Once the spread of endotoxin starts in body, the body immune system releases inflammatory substance in the body and causes the body te
