Virulence factors are molecules produced by pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa) that contribute to the pathogenicity of the organism and enable them to achieve the following: 1  colonization of a niche in the host (this includes attachment to cells).2  immunoevasion, evasion of the host's immune response.hese obtained bacterial virulence factors have two different routes used to help them survive and grow: 1  The factors are used to assist and promote colonization of the host. 2  The factors, including toxins, hemolysins, and proteases, bring damage to the host.
Virulence, a term often used interchangeably with pathogenicity, refers to the degree of pathology caused by the organism. The extent of the virulence is usually correlated with the ability of the pathogen to multiply within the host and may be affected by other factors (ie, conditional).athogenicity refers to the ability of an organism to cause disease (ie, harm the host). This ability represents a genetic component of the pathogen and the overt damage done to the host is a property of the host-pathogen interactions.
