(3) Bacterial Pathway Flashcards
Flagella arrangement where flagella are found all over the bacteria
Peritrichous
Molecules on bacteria that bind to specific receptors on the host tissue surface and keep microorganisms from being washed away
Adhesion proteins
Bacterial products that directly harm tissue or trigger destructive biological activities
Bacterial exotoxins
Pathogenic microorganism can be deposited directly into deep tissues of the body, as in puncture wounds and surgery
Parenteral route
A type of bacterial exotoxin that creates a ion channel that leads to the lysis of cells
Hemolytic alpha toxin
Small, circular, extra chromosomal DNA
Plasmid
Loose, water soluble glycocalyx
Slime layer
A long protein that connects a bacterial cell to a molecule (another bacteria, surface or tissue)
Pili
Sticky external sheath of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Glycocalyx
A type of bacterial toxin that prevents host immune cells moving from the blood vessels to the site of infection
Pertussis toxin
An external structure found on some bacteria that are anchored on the cell membrane and cell wall that have a long thin filament that rotates by a sodium ion concentration gradient
Prokaryotic flagella
A type of bacterial toxin that binds to the Fc portion of antibodies to block the antibodies biological function
Protein A
Flagella arrangement only found on only one side of the bacteria
Polar flagella
A type of bacterial enzyme that hydrolyzes a bacteria fibrin coat
Fibrinolysis
A type of bacterial enzyme that cleaves host desmosomes
Exfoliative toxins
