This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: blanks_Path_Quorum, biofilm Live in close association and communicate with other bacteria in the biofilm, biofilm Resist attack by antibiotics, function in virulence Bacterial virulence is largely based on the bacterium's ability to produce gene products called virulence factors that enable that bacterium to colonize the host, resist body defenses, and harm the body., Whether or not a person actually contracts an infectious disease after exposure to a particular potentially pathogenic bacterium depends on several factors. factors important in contracting an infection, biofilm Adhere to environmental surfaces and resist flushing, type 3 secretion system function, Pathogenicity and virulence are terms that refer to an organism's ability to cause disease. virulence, To cause disease, an organism must first colonize and then harm the host. virulence factors that harm the host The ability to induce autoimmune responses, enzymes/toxins Enables the bacteria to get nutrients from damaged host cells., To cause disease, an organism must first colonize and then harm the host. Virulence factors that promote bacterial colonization of the host The ability to evade adaptive immune defenses, Bacterial virulence is largely based on the bacterium's ability to produce gene products called virulence factors that enable that bacterium to colonize the host, resist body defenses, and harm the body. role of quorum sensing, Whether or not a person actually contracts an infectious disease after exposure to a particular potentially pathogenic bacterium depends on several factors. factors important in contracting an infection, To cause disease, an organism must first colonize and then harm the host. virulence factors that harm the host type 3 secretion system, Pathogenicity and virulence are terms that refer to an organism's ability to cause disease. pathogenicity, To cause disease, an organism must first colonize and then harm the host. Virulence factors that promote bacterial colonization of the host The ability to compete for iron and other nutrients, To cause disease, an organism must first colonize and then harm the host. Virulence factors that promote bacterial colonization of the host The ability to adhere to host cells and resist physical removal, To cause disease, an organism must first colonize and then harm the host. bacteria functioning as a population Quorum Sensing, benefit Individual bacteria within a group are able to benefit from the activity of the entire group., To cause disease, an organism must first colonize and then harm the host. Virulence factors that promote bacterial colonization of the host The ability to resist innate immune defenses, Quorum Sensing definition
