A Formula of Bacterial Pathogenicity (Theoretical Review): Recent Development

Four fundamental biological functions are responsible for bacterial pathogenicity in a multi-cellular
host organism: The adhesive function, the function of invasion and penetration into the cell, the
function of evasion of host defense and the damage function. The action of the first three of them
(adhesion, invasion and evasion) is directed to towards establishing an ecological niche in Multicellular
host, while the aim of the damaging function is destruction of this environment.
