16
Q

what is happening in a enterotoxin?

A

GM1 ganglioside receptor  cAMP  increase in K, Na, Bicarbonate and water
Quorum sensing (when to block adhesion)  communicating cell to cell communication  make biofilms —– V.Cholera down regulates
Smooth vs Rough  eps former

17
Q

endotoxin

A

cause physiological effects - fever
they have to do with lipid A

Example of virulence factors  salmonella
Virulence  anything that causes damage to the host
