This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: endo and exo toxins, made of proteins, usually 2 parts- A & B mainly affects cell funtions, nerves and gastrointestinal tract, present in LPS of outer membrane of cell wall, and released w/ destruction of cell or during division causes general symptoms such as fever, weakness, aches and shock, Endo and Exo toxins endotoxin gram negative, stable: can withstand autoclaving (121 C) for an hour takes larger dose to be lethal, Unstable. can usually be destroyed at 60-80 deg. C Takes small dose to be lethal, mainly affects cell funtions, nerves and gastrointestinal tract Unstable. can usually be destroyed at 60-80 deg. C, Endo and Exo toxins Exotoxin mostly gram positive, causes general symptoms such as fever, weakness, aches and shock stable: can withstand autoclaving (121 C) for an hour, gram negative present in LPS of outer membrane of cell wall, and released w/ destruction of cell or during division, mostly gram positive made of proteins, usually 2 parts- A & B, takes larger dose to be lethal representative diseases: urinary tract infections, meningococcal meningitis, Takes small dose to be lethal representative diseases include: gas gangrene, tetanus, botulism, diptheria, scarlet fever
