Summary Introduction
To determine:
The adaptations that enable the pathogenic bacteria to enter the body and cause the disease.
Introduction:
Bacteria are considered to be harmful to living things, but most of the bacteria are beneficial for living things. Certain bacteria are disease-causing and are called pathogenic bacteria. These bacteria can cause mild to severe diseases in the life of an individual.

How long does a virus infection last without antibiotics?
Pathogenic infections induce damage to the host by a variety of mechanisms. While many mechanisms are direct effects of the pathogen, some damaging mechanisms result from the immune response to the infection. Examples of damage caused by the host immune response are:
a) Exotoxin production, endotoxin
b) Cell-mediated inmunity, direct cytopathic effect
c) Endotoxin, inmmunune complexes
d) Direct cythopathic effect, endotoxin
e) Cell-mediated inmunity, inmmunune complexes
