Boeckxstaens and his co-workers wanted to investigate whether the therapeutic effect of alginates—polysaccharide polymers that form a floating raft of viscous gel on top of gastric contents ...

But that's not all. The protective effect of the aerobiome could also be caused by a compound on the outer part of bacteria, called endotoxin. This inflammatory compound, located in the bacterial ...

Alcohol consumption poses a significant global health risk, contributing to numerous diseases and injuries, especially among younger individuals. Even low levels of alcohol intake carry risks ...

Pfeiffer conceived of a toxin that was released by the lysis from within the bacteria and thus devised the term endotoxin. It was subsequently shown that Pfeiffer was in error, that ...

Additionally, certain plastic-derived compounds and bacterial endotoxins can induce dysbiosis, potentially leading to long-term alterations in immune regulation and metabolic functions.

Gram-positive bacteria show blue or purple after Gram-staining in a laboratory test. They have thick cell walls. Gram-negative bacteria show pink or red on staining and have thin walls. They ...
