Match the bacterial virulence factors with the effects on the host and the disease process. Hyaluronidase or Collagenase Cytotoxins Neurotoxin Coagulase Capsule An exotoxin that affects the nervous system of the host. Enzymes that are excreted by bacteria to break down substances that help host cells to stick to each other. This increases the ability of the bacteria to spread within the host's body. A layer of polysaccharides or glycoproteins that coats the outer surface of a bacterium and helps to protect the bacterium from phagocytosis. A component of the of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria that is released when the bacterial cell dies or divides. It induces fever and inflammation in a rather non-specific way. An exotoxin that kills host cells. Examples include leukocidins, hemolysins and diphtheria toxin. An enzyme excreted by some bacteria that causes blood to form clots. This can form a protective coating around a group of bacteria allowing them to evade the host's immune system while they grow.
