Exotoxins
Protein membrane
Gram negative characteristics
Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide)
Outer membrane
Gram positive characteristics
Lipoteichoic acid
What are the virulence factors of Neisseria meningitidis?
Polysaccharide capsule (antiphagocytic, 5 serotypes - B) Vaccine does not include B because it is not immunogenic Pili (attach to respiratory epithelium) Lipooligosaccharaide (endotoxin, fever, shock) IgA protease (invase mucosal surface) C6-C9 complement deficiency
What a are the clinical manifestations of Neisseria meninigitidis?
Meningitis
Nuchal rigidity
Septicemia
Waterhouse-Friedrichesn syndrom (meningiococcemia, adrenal insufficiency, intravascular coagulation)
What are the virulence factors for Neisseria gonorrheae?
Pili (antigenic variation) Outer membrane proteins (antigenic variation) Lipooligosaccharide (modified endotoxin) IgA protease (invade mucosal surface by hydrolyzing IgA, colonize muscosal membrane)
What are the clinical manifestations of neisseria gonorrhaea for males?
Urethritis (dysuria, purulent discharge)
Rectalitis and proctitis seen in homosexual males

Adult conjuctivtis Newborn ophthalmia neonatorum (conjunctivitis) Blindness PID (sterility) Gonococcemia (arthritis)
What are the virulence factors for psuedomonas aeruginosa?
Capsule Pili Exotoxin (A = inhibit protein synth causing tissue damage, S = interferes with cell growth) Phospholipase C (breaks lecthin) Alginate (forms biofilm) Pycocyanin Pyoveridin (green) Elastase (inactivate TNF alpha) LPS endotoxin
What are the clinical manifestations for psuedomonas aeruginosa?
3rd most commmon cause of UTI due to indwelling catheters Pneumonia - hospital and CF pts Burn victim infections Hot tub and pool infections Otitis externa (swimmers ear) Ocular infections Endocarditis
What are the virulence factors for bordetella pertussis?
Polysaccharide capsule Outer membrane protein Trachel cytotosin Filamentous hemagglutinins (FHA) Pertussis AB toxin
What does the pertussis toxin do?
5 subunits which bind to inhibti chemotaxis, phagocytosis, generations of ROS, inc IgE synth (histamine) and induced apoptosis in macrophages
What are the clinical manifestations of bordetella pertussis?
Whooping cough Rhinorrhea Malaise Fever Sneezing Anorexia Leukocytosis Pneumonia (not common)
