Mechanisms of Bacteria-Induced Injury
A
- Bacterial Virulence
- Depends on ability of bacteria to adhere, invade and delivere toxins
- Bacterial Adherence
- Entry into macrophages directed by receptors that recognize antibodies
- Entry into epithelial cells- depend on bacteria surface and epithelial cell receptor (integrins)
- Bacterial Endotoxin
- LPS- induces host cytokine release
- Bacterial Exotoxins
- Toxins released that interfere with cellular metabolism and allow bacteria to outgrow competing bacteria
