Learning Objectives for "Bacterial Pathogenesis: Factors that Damage the Host"
a. The Ability of PAMPs to Trigger the Production of Inflammatory Cytokines that Result in an Excessive Inflammatory Response: Acid-Fast PAMPs

After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

1. Name the common PAMPs associated with acid-fast bacteria that stimulate cytokine production and an inflammatory response.

2. Name pathogenic 2 acid-fast bacteria and state the infection each causes.

 

• RETURN TO "BACTERIAL PATHOGENESIS: FACTORS THAT DAMAGE THE HOST - PRODUCE PAMPS THAT TRIGGER THE PRODUCTION OF INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINES THAT RESULT IN AN EXCESSIVE INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE: ACID FAST PAMPS"
