Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Pathogenic bacteria contain various virulent factors. All such bacteria contain “Lipid A” in their cell wall, however, there are some factors which are unique to some specific bacteria. Such factors range between the presence of a capsule, which prevents phagocytosis of the cell and provides antibody resistance. It is polysaccharide in nature. Presence of plasmid, it stores the genes for adhesion, fimbriae, and exotoxins. Presence of fimbriae, it ensures mobility and transfer of genetic material to bacteria.
