Expert Solution

For establishment and maintenance of any infection, a microorganism goes through three basic steps:

Exposure and adhesion
Invasion
Evading host's immune system.

Microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa have different mechanisms of evading host based on their chemical composition and structural properties.

We are trying to discuss here virulence factors based on their functions used by bacteria.

The above image explains the virulence factors which help the bacteria in adhesion and invasion of the host surface.

The above image helps us to understand the mechanism of bacteria by which they prevent their detection in blood and phagocytosis by macrophages.

I hope our explanations are easy and useful to solve your queries. If you like them, encourage us by giving thumbs up.
