Q

Anthrax pathogenesis (2)

A

1- CAPSULE
- POLYPEPTIDE —-> D-GLUTAMIC ACID
(inhibits opsonization, phagocytosis)

2- PLASMID ENCODED TOXIN (Binary Toxin)

 - Protective Factor —> Bind to receptor on macrophage 
 - Lethal Factor —> Inhibit cell function
 - Oedema Factor —> Increase vascular permeability —> Shock
