how we survive if normal Flora produce lipopolysaccharide?
Normal Flora are the microorganisms that live on another living organism (human or animal) or inanimate object without causing disease... We are covered with, and contain within our intestines, approximately one hundred trillion bacteria that form the normal Flora of our bodies. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) is the major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, contributing greatly to the structural integrity of the bacteria, and protecting the membrane from certain kinds of chemical attack. LPS also increase the negative charge of the cell membrane and helps stabilize the overall membrane structure. LPS is medically important to humans.. The portion of the LPS that is responsible for the toxicity is the core and lipid A portion( the endotoxin) . Endotoxin can produce a fever, decrease in the number of white blood cells, and damage to blood vessels resulting in reduced blood pressure.
