Pathogenic Intestinal Bacteria

Molecular classification
Bacteria, Microorganism
01

Overview

Pathogenic intestinal bacteria are bacterial species that colonize the gastrointestinal tract and possess the capacity to cause disease in humans. They utilize various virulence factors to adhere to and invade epithelial cells, evade immune responses, and produce toxins. Infection with these pathogens can result in acute gastroenteritis, chronic inflammatory conditions, or systemic illness. Their interaction with the host microbiome is complex, with pathogens often inducing inflammation that disrupts commensal populations.
