Recap 4 Flashcards
How does Mannheimia haemolytica affect mucus?
Produces neuraminidase (glycoside hydroxylase) which reduces viscosity of mucus
Bacterial exotoxins :
Produced by
Action via
Gram+
Secreted by living G+
Some act via A-B toxin system = bind to cell membrane with R (B-subunit) and deliver toxin via A-subunit (botulism, tetanus, Corynebacterium, anthrax)
E.coli hemolysin
S.aureus also has a-toxin = pore forming cytotoxin
G+ = thick meshlike outer layer of peptidoglycan (murein)
Lipoteichoic acid (origin)
Release from dead G+ (located in cell wall)
Endotoxin :
Release
Toxicity
Released from dead G-
Toxicity of LPS due to lipid A immunogenicity due to polysaccharide = activation of proinflamm cytokines and NO -> active complement and coag cascade = endotoxic shock
Virulence factor of siderophore
Mediate release of iron from IC iron stores
- enterobactin = E.coli, salmonella
- Bacillibactin, petrobactin (B.anthracis)
Key mechanisms of ATBresistance
- Enzymatic deactivation (B-lactamase)
- Alteration of atb binding sites (penicillin-binding protein)
- Alteration of a metabolic pathway (sulfonamide-resistant bacteria that use preformed folic acid in place of PABA)
- Reduced atb accumulation in bacteria through decreased membrane permeability to the atb and/or enhanced efflux via membrane pumps
Bacterial horizontal gene transfer
- Conjugation : direct bacteria-bacteria contact via plasmid
- Transformation : chromosomal DNA in which free in EC fluid as a result of lysis of its host bacterium are taken up via bacteria
- Transduction : bacteria-Sp virus (bacteriophage) transfer DNA between 2 closely related bacteria
Types of enteric colibacillosis
- ETEC : don’t invade enterocytes, secrete toxins that affect enterocytes fct not structure, secretory diarrhea
- EPEC : don’t invade enterocytes, affect microvillus border (structure) = osmotic D+ (malabsorption)
- EHEC : invade mucosal enterocytes, structural damage/necrosis to colon enterocytes (cell lysis) = malabsorption
- Enterotoxemic and septicemic collibacillosis : from enteropathogenic strains = enterotoxins invade/absorb by capillaries in lamina propria
Pathogenesis of ETEC
- Express K99 (F5) or F41 (fimbria adhesin) = allow to bind to receptors in mucus layer and to ganglioside and glycoprotein-R on cell membranes
- Heat labile (LT) and heat stable (ST) enterotoxins -> binds to R interact with 2nd messenger -> increase IC cAMP (LT) and cGMP (ST) = open chloride channels irreversibly = IC Cl ions move to EC in lumen
Pathogenesis of EPEC
- Express adhesins P and S fimbriae, EPEC adherence factor, intimin
- Injury to brush border disrupt cytoskeleton by injecting EspA, EspB, EspD in cytoplasm of enterocytes = active transduction pathway + acute inflammation = loss of microvilli (attaching/effacing injury) = decrease digestive enzyme activity -> osmotic D+
- Some strain produce verotoxin = kills enterocytes and cells in lamina propria = erosions, ulcers
Pathogenesis of EHEC
- ++++ colon specific
- Verotoxin = acute inflamm, invade enterocytes and toxin kills
- Some strains produce Shiga toxin
- H+ colitis with erosion/ulcers = expose lamina propria to LPS
In Salmonella what is the mechanism of injury in by what are the lesions caused by? colonize? Survival?
Acute coagulative necrosis by toxins and by acute inflammation
= enterotoxins (exotoxin), endotoxin and LPS (membrane injury, cell lysis), acute inflammation
Colonize M cells and apical cell membrane of enterocytes (salmonella is motile = flagella)
In the cell (macro), survive within a Salmonella containing vacuole (SCV ; phagosome or phagolysosome can block fusion)
Can kill macrophages via type 1 secretory system (apoptosis, active caspase 1)
Pathogenesis of enterotoxemia by C.perfringens
- Ingestion of spores or can be found in normal flora
- Attachement and retraction on microvilli with type 4 pili
- Phase 1 = injury to enterocytes
- Phase 2 = mucosa is colonized, bacteria proliferate and produce +++++ cytotoxins spread by diffusion to mucosa/LP/SM/muscle
- Alpha, beta = enterocyte membrane toxin
- Epsilon = increase enterocyte and endothelial cell permeability by acting on their cytoskeleton and altering junction complex = affect absorption of toxin by vascular system
- Iota = disrupts cytoskeleton = cell lysis - Toxins goes systemic (+++ epsilon bc increase permeability) -> brain (focal, symmetric encephalomalacie), kidney (pulpy kidney dz)
Pathogenesis of B.anthracis
3 exotoxins cause cell lysis
1. Protective antigen (PA, B part) = Facilitate entry of itself into cells by endocytosis and form a pore through which the remaining 2 toxins can enter the cells -> binds to TEM8 and CMG2
2. Edema factor (EF, A part) = Disrupt cell membrane, water and electrolyte transport -> cell lysis
EF binds to Ca, calmodulin to form adenyl cyclase that convert ATP to AMPc
3. Lethal factor (LF, A part) = Destroys MAPKK which regulates MAPK = leads to cell death
Virulence factor in R.equi enteritis
Vaps = virulence associated proteins
Pathogenesis of Johne’s disease (Mycobacterium avium spp paratuberculosis)
- Requires iron for growth inside phagosome (iron stored as ferritin)
- Mycobacteria secrete iron-chelating proteins (exochelin, iron-reductase, siderophore)
- R on macrophages in phagocytosis of bacteria = mannose-binding-R, CD14-R
- Mycobacteria suppress ability of macrophages to be activated by cytokines such as IFNy
Pathogenesis of Lawsonia
- Lawsonia surface AG (LsaA) = adhesion or invasion
- endocytosis in crypts in proliferative zone
- rapidly escape phagosome before fusion with lysosome and reside free in cytoplasm
- prolif IC with prolif of crypt enterocytes (hypertrophy/hyperplasia)
= inhibits normal maturation of crypt cells and increase rate of cell division = ++ mitosis
Pathogenesis of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae
Anaerobic motile spirochete
- lysis of epithelial cells of colon and cecum by hemolysin and protease
- goblet cells mucus = mucin = strong chemoattractant for spirochetes (replicate in mucigen droplets and increase production of mucus)
- majority in mucus layer
- anerobe = prod of NADH to protect against oxidative stress
Pathogenesis of Clostridium haemolyticum
Tropism for Kupffer cells
- Produce phospholipase C and hemolysin = destroy membranes
- follows injury caused by liver flukes (promotes anaerobic state)
Virulence factors of Strep equi subs zooepidemicus
- SzP : Surface M-like protein = determine which organ is colonized through ligand-R interactions (antiphagocytic properties)
- C5a peptidase (certain strain), invasin, fibronectin-binding protein = biofilm formation
Virulence factors of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis/mannheimiosis (M.haemolytica)
Leukotoxin, LPS (binds CD14, B2 integrin, TLR on alveolar macro), adhesin, capsular polysaccharide (inhibe phagocytosis, disrupt complement-lysis), outer membrane protein (chemotactic for neutro, disrupt phagocytosis), protease (reduce viscosity of mucus), fimbriae and pili adhesin
**Leukotoxin = causes lysis and apoptosis of alveolar macrophages and neutrophils, attach through cells by passive absorption and cell surface B2-integrin-R (CD18)
High concentration = necrosis by creating pores in cell membrane
Low concentration = apoptosis, active neutro induce proinflamm cytokines
Pathogenesis of M.bovis (bovine tuberculosis)
Use multiple membrane pathogen PRR to enter macrophages = complement receptor (CR1, 3, 4), mannose, surfactant protein, CD14
Can activate alternative pathway of complement and use C3b and C3bi fragments to opsonize its surface and bind complement-R
Waxy cell wall hard to digest = granuloma, giant cells
Virulence factors of porcine pleuropneumoniae (Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae)
Use porcine transferrin as source of iron
Apx toxin = pore forming exotoxins that lyses cells (ApxI-III)
Pathogenesis of atrophic rhinitis
- B. Bronchiseptica = Dermonecrotic toxin (DNT) and adenylate cyclase-hemolysin toxin -> squamous metaplasia = disrupts mucus layer promote multocida infection
- P. Multocida = P.multocida toxin (PMT) = blocks fct of osteoblasts = bone remodelling
Virulence factor of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
Cilium adhesin expressed on bacterium = binding process -> interact with glycosaminoglycan and heparin on cell membranes
Pathogenesis of B.bronchiseptica in dogs (tracheobronchitis)

Pathogenesis of edema disease
Hemolytic strain of E.coli -> absorb (shiga or verotoxin) = fibrinoid arteriopathy ++ brain = ischemia, malacia
Lysis of endothelial cell and smooth muscle cells of arteriols (express R for toxins = globotetraosylceramide, galactosylgloboside, globotriaosylceramide) = disrupt protein synthesis = permability = edema
Virulence factor of UPEC (E.coli)
Adhesin type 1 fimbria, P fimbria, S fimbria = bind to receptors called uroplakins expressed on apical surface of umbrella cells
Tips of type 1 fimbria express ligand called FimH adhesin = bind to uroplakin receptors (UPIa)
Target cells of leptospira
Primary target in kidney = proximal convoluted tubules (cortex)
Later = loops of henle (medulla)
Virulence factors of Brucella
Class A scavenger receptors on target cells
Blocks phagosolysosome fusion by LPS, cyclic B-1,2-glucan and HSP
Pathogenesis of Strep equi equi
- Target = epithelial cells -> M-like proteins (SeM, SzPSe) = adhesins
- Bact multiplied EC in NL
- SeeH (cell wall protein) interacts with macro = increase proinflamm cytokines = increase permeability and edema
- Peptidoglycan bact wall interacts with C3 complement in edema via alternative complement pathway -> produce chemotactic factors
- Streptokinase interacts with plasminogen in edema fluid to form active plasmin which hydrolyzes fibrin = increase spread of bacteria
- Secrete leukocidal toxin and streptolysin S (pore-forming toxin)
