A member asked:
When white blood cell digest the bacteria, will endotoxin released cause less harm to host tissues since endotoxin affect that white blood cell first?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endotoxin: Endotoxin is released by only certain bacteria when they are destroyed. So technically the endotoxin can onlyl exert their effects after the bacteria are killed and are still within the bacteria's cell while it's alive.
