Immunity to Bacteria Flashcards
Adaptive Immunity attacks bacteria by
- Neutralization by antibodies
- Complement activation
- opsonization
- macrophage killing
- Tc and Nk cells killing
Opsonization invovles
anitbodies and complement to increase phagocytosis
Bacterial toxins are
neutralized by antibodies and ingested by macrophages
bacteria in extracellular space are
opsonized by antibodies and complement, ingested and lysed
Bacteria in plasma are
activate complement, ingested and lysed
Brucella abortus method of intracellular survival
resistant cell wall and prevents phagosome maturation
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis method of survival
resistant cell wall
Listeria monocytogenes method of survival
neutralizes respiratory burst and escapes into teh cytosol
Mycobacerium tuberculosis method of survival
lipid cell wall, prevents phagosome maturation, suppresses antigen presentation and detoxifies oxidants
Salmonella enterica method of survival
prevents phagosome maturation, modifies endosomeal trafficking, detoxififes oxidants, downregulates NOS2 and NOX
Rhodococcus equi
survives in phagosomes
Mechanisms by which intracellular bacteria can evade intracellular destruction include:
- prevent lysosome-phagosome fusion
- escape into cytoplasm
- resistance to lysosome enzymes
- inhibit M1 polarization
- inhibition of autophagy
Skin infections include
microsporum and candida
respiratory infections include
histoplasma capsulatum, blastomyces dermatiditis, coccidiodes immitis
Opportunitistic infections include
rhizopus, mucor, absidia and pneumocystis
What cells respond to surface infections
Nk cells to destory fungal infections
What complement pathway responds to fungal infections?
alternative complement activation pathway
