Q

Intracellular pathogens use

A

Actin based motility: ‘rocketing’ into neighbouring cells

34
Q

Listerialysin O (LLO)

A

Pore forming toxin produced by Listeria

Cholesterol dependent cytolysin (CDC) so only breaks down host cell membranes, not its own

35
Q

A

An enzyme that breaks down phospholipids

produced by Listeria

37
Q

Example of a bacteria that evades destruction by secreting proteins

A

Salmonella

38
Q

Type III secretion system

A

Molecular syringe in Salmonella
Produces SPi-2 effectors that facilitate replication of Salmonella in the acidified vacuole (before it fuses with the lysosome)

39
Q

SPi-2 effectors

A

Secreted proteins that enable Salmonella to replicate inside the cell

40
Q

Salmonella exploits recognition by TLRs

A

To get a protective vacuole around itself

42
Q

SPi-2 effectors work by (4)

TB survives inside the cell because it prevents
