Below are a list of virulence factors/ strategies paired with an example of an organism that utilizes them. How do each of the following strategies contribute to the virulence of the pathogen? Strategy - Causes the host to produce more receptors (Organism - Rhinovirus) Strategy - Produces gas as a product of fermentation (Organism - Clostridium perfringens) Strategy - Produces a capsule (organism - Klebsiella pneumonia) Strategy - Ability to move between adjacent cells (organism - Cytomegalovirus) Strategy - Ability to use pilus as a motility structure (organism - Pseudomonas aerogenosa)

What is meant by an opportunistic pathogen?
Discuss how a pathogen causes an infection. Include definitions for primary pathogen, opportunistic pathogen, infection, disease (caused by a living organism), and various stages of pathogenesis. You can choose a specific organism to describe (like Orthomyxovirus and Influenza) or discuss a generalized infection.
Describe the difference between the terms INFECTION and DISEASE. Starting with exposure to pathogens, describe IN DETAIL the steps involved in the infection process ( exposure, adherence, invasion and multiplication) as well as the disease process( Toxicity, invasiveness, tissue or system damage)
identify one type of pathogen or infectious agent. Describe ways to prevent the spread of the diseases this type of pathogen can cause and explain why these preventative measures are important.

Define the term pathogen. Using MRSA, NOROVIRUS, ATHLETES FOOT and MALARIA as examples, identify the microorganisms (causal agent) involved in each disease. Provide some information on the microorganism for each disease e.g. structure Discuss 3 routes of entry that disease causing organisms use to enter the body.
Discuss how a pathogen causes an infection. Include definitions for primary pathogen, opportunistic pathogen, infection, disease (caused by a living organism), and various stages of pathogenesis.
What is an opportunistic pathogen?
