What is a virulence factor for diphtheria?
The virulence factor for diphtheria is an exotoxin named diphtheria exotoxin.
What does the toxin Endotoxin do?
The amount of endotoxin in protein, peptide or antibody samples is measured by the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test with an endotoxin kit. The concentration of endotoxin in the test specimens is calculated by the LAL kit by chromogenic signal in the presence of endotoxin. This measurement is performed on a microplagin absorption reader at 405 nm. Protein and antibody samples are measured every 30 minutes. The importance of determining the level of endotoxin in evaluating the effectiveness of endotoxin removal methods as well as preventing endotoxic shocks and animals injected with endotoxin-contaminated proteins is very important.
What exotoxin is produced from phage?
Inside the membrane, the bacteria produce an exotoxin, which is a poisonous secretion that causes the life-threatening symptoms of diphtheria. The exotoxin is carried throughout the body in the bloodstream, destroying healthy tissue

Septic shock symptoms.
Is a neurotoxin an endotoxin?
Neurotoxins damage nerve cells. I believe that an endotoxin can be a neurotoxin, but a neurotoxin is not necessarily an endotoxin. Kinda like lead is a neurotoxin but a neurotoxin is not necessarily lead. An excitoxin is neurotoxin since exitotoxins damage nerve and glial cells. Endotoxins and exotoxins have to do with bacteria and if they cause nerve damage they would be considered neurotoxins.
