Q

Factors to m. Bovis virulence

A

Fimbriae or pili that mediate attachment of bacteria, vaccine targets pili action
- initial damage in eye is required

Q

Fungal keratitis

A

Aspergillus is the most common bacteria, directly inoculated into traumatized corneal epithelium
Virulence inhibit corneal neovascularization , reduced neutrophil infiltration & cell mediated phagocytosis = slowed healing
