Is it true that gram negative bacteria possess an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides that are released as endotoxins upon cell death?

Yes. Gram-negative bacteria feature an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides that function as endotoxins and are released during bacterial processes and cell death.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the microbiological fact that Gram-negative bacteria possess an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which function as endotoxins and are naturally released or secreted (such as via membrane vesicles) to trigger immune responses.
