Pathogenic Bacteria
- Molecular classification
- Prokaryotes, Unicellular organisms
01
Overview
Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria capable of causing disease in humans and other organisms. They cause diseases ranging from mild to life-threatening by invading host tissues, evading immune responses, and producing toxins. Virulence factors, such as adhesion molecules, capsules, and toxins, enable them to colonize hosts and cause disease. Antibiotic resistance is a major global health concern associated with pathogenic bacteria.
