The 14 pages that link to Lipopolysaccharide, each with the reason it gives.

• Gram-negative bacteriaBroader topic: Its lipid A portion can trigger strong inflammatory responses during infection.

• Pseudomonas aeruginosaRelated: Its outer membrane contains lipopolysaccharide, which can trigger inflammation.

• Gram stainRelated: It marks an envelope architecture associated with loss of the primary stain during decolorization.

• Bacterial capsuleCompared with: It is embedded in the outer membrane, while a capsule lies beyond the cell surface.

• EndotoxinNarrower topic: Endotoxin is the biological activity associated with this outer-membrane molecule.

• GlycolipidCompared with: It is a distinct, complex bacterial surface molecule rather than a typical eukaryotic membrane glycolipid.

• Mycolic acidCompared with: It serves an outer-membrane role in Gram-negative bacteria unlike the mycolate-based mycomembrane.

• Bacterial cell envelopeBroader topic: It forms much of the outer membrane’s outer leaflet and can trigger strong immune responses.

• Capsular polysaccharideCompared with: It is a membrane-associated antigen, contrasting with a capsule outside the cell envelope.

• Klebsiella pneumoniaeRelated: Its endotoxin can contribute to the inflammatory response during Klebsiella infection.

• Bruce BeutlerRelated: This bacterial molecule was the stimulus that led Beutler to the endotoxin receptor.

• Bacteroides fragilisRelated: Its atypical lipopolysaccharide helps distinguish B. fragilis from many other Gram-negative pathogens.

• Jarisch–Herxheimer reactionCompared with: It is often invoked by analogy, but spirochetes do not have lipopolysaccharide.

• RhamnoseRelated: Rhamnose can occur in the O-antigen polysaccharides that vary among bacterial strains.
