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: Gram-Negative PAMPs

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

1. State what is meant by endotoxin and indicate where it is normally found.

2*. List 3 Gram-negative PAMPS and briefly describe how they initiate SIRS.

3*. Define healthcare-associated infection and name 3 common Gram-negative bacteria that cause HAIs.

(*) = Common theme throughout the course

 

Highlighted Bacterium
