40
Q

Delays ingestion by phagocytes thereby promoting multiplication of the organism in the tissues of the host.

A

CAPSULE

41
Q

 Exhibits toxicity for pulmonary endothelial cells and direct
effect on cilia that contributes to the disruption of
endothelial barrier.
 Facilitates the access of pneumococci to the alveoli and
eventually their spread beyond into the bloodstream.
 Lyses phagocytes and suppresses host inflammatory and
immune functions.

A

42
Q

 Also referred to as spreading factor
 It hydrolyses neuraminic acid, an important component of
mucus that covers cells of the respiratory tract and protects
them from bacterial attachment.
