pathogenesis Flashcards
in order to cause damage
violence must be expressed and a strict pathogen is high in this
what are the 6 pathogen steps
- entry
- colonize
- multiply
- spread
- toxicity
- outcomes
entry
adhesion factors such as tissue specificity and host specificity
Bordetella pertussis causes
whooping cough
what is in the lipid bilayer
phospotases
what are some types of enzyme
hyladroidase = breaks down hylaronic acid – pnemoicocci and strep
colloenases - gas gangrene
coagulase- strep pyrogens - strep throat
exotoxins
are more specific
endotoxins
are more general
what are three types of exotoxins
- AB
- Cytolytic toxins
- super antigens
fluid in the lumen leads to
diarehia
TSSTI is caused by
stap aureus
diphteria toxin
caused by corny bacterium diphtheria it is an AB toxin
** disrupts EF-2 and interferes with protien synthesis
Tetanus and Botulinum toxins
strict anaerobes in sol and are spore forms
tetanus - from c retain and can cause neurological impairment
botulism= cause muscle paralysis
what happens in botulism
acetylcolone is blocked and glycine controls the release
** if tetanus then continuous contraction and acetyl colone
enterotoxins
in the GI tract and cause secretion of fluid in to the lumen and it is caused by cloeria toxin
