    Study Notes

    Antigenic Variation

    • Antigenic variation of adhesive pilus is an important virulent strategy for bacteria to evade host immune responses.

    Epidemiological Factors

    • Epidemiological factors that determine the prevalence and incidence of infectious diseases may include all factors, except laboratory diagnosis.

    Sexually Transmitted Diseases

    • All pathogens that cause sexually transmitted diseases, except viruses, are bacterial.

    Adherence and Colonization

    • Adherence and colonization factors of bacterial pathogens may include pili, fimbriae, and capsules.

    Immune Avoidance

    • All bacterial virulence factors responsible for immune avoidance, except IgA protease, facilitate evasion of the host immune system.

    Macrophage Survival

    • Mycobacterium tuberculosis can survive and replicate within macrophages by inhibiting phagosome-lysosome fusion.

    Invasiveness and Spread

    • Virulence factors that function for invasiveness and spread from the initial site of infection include flagella, capsules, and enzymes.

    Phagocyte Mobilization

    • Virulence factors that are involved in the inhibition of phagocyte mobilization include all, except interferon.

    Bacterial Exotoxins

    • All bacterial exotoxins, except enterotoxins, are neurotoxins.

    Endotoxins

    • Endotoxins originate from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, particularly from the lipopolysaccharide layer.
