When his boss called to complain that the time-sensitive documents he was waiting for still hadn't arrived, Victor worried that the courier responsible for delivery may secretly be on their competitor's payroll and had sabotaged them on purpose.
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.
The answer to that question is virulence factors. Let's break this term down. Virulence refers to the ability of a pathogen to cause a disease process to occur in our bodies. Virulence factors are the different agents that are used by the pathogen in order to sneak the disease into our system.The virulence factors do things like make you give them access into your body and allow them to establish a place to reside.he first thing that the pathogen has to be able to do is to get into the tissues of your body and/or bloodstream. Invasion enzymes are the virulence factors that allow this to happen. Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid, which is the substance that glues together the cells that make up the tissues of your body.
