The
physiological
effects
of
LPS
toxins
include
fever,
circulatory
changes,
and
other
general
symptoms
like
weakness
and
non
localised
aches.
The
effects
of
LPS
toxins
are
generally
the
same
for
all
species
of
Gram
negative
bacteria
beacause
of
the
common
nature
of
lipid
A.
Thus
there
is
no
specific
characteristic
symptoms
associated
with
the
endotoxin
of
a
particular
species
of
bacterium.
Species
of
Salmonella
and
Shigella,
besides
LPS
toxins,
also
produce
protein
toxins(exotoxins)
and
these
are
exotoxins
that
are
largely
responsible
for
their
Pathogenicity.
Shigella
produces
protein
toxins
that
act
on
nerve
cells,(neurotoxins)
