Presents current work of leading researchers and clinicians on bacterials endotoxins. Reflects the latest understanding of the molecular structure required for the production of the pathophysiological effects of endotoxins, the fate of endotoxins in the host, substances mediating their effects, and the relevance of endotoxins in certain clinical settings. Contributors address the biological effects of endotoxins, the role of endotoxins in gastrointestinal and liver disease, clinical significance and detection of endotoxemia, and antiendotoxin mechanisms and treatment.
