Explanation:

E. coli is a gram - negative bacterium. Its outer membrane contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS), also known as endotoxin. When antibiotics kill E. coli cells, they release LPS. LPS can trigger a strong immune response, leading to high fever, inflammation, and potentially shock.

The antibiotic treatment kills the cells and releasing LPS
