Commensal bacteria
They provide SYMBIOTIC BENEFIT to the HOST

Require 30% more calories than colonized mice to maintain weight.
What do bacteria provide to mice
Metabolic pathways that expand capacity to extract calories and micronutrients from sugar plant diet.

Some bacteria provide vitamins to humans
Symbiotic benefit of nonpathogenic bacteria
out compete pathogenic bacteria for colonizing niche and colonize host
What do bacteria produce that provide symbiotic benefit
ANTIMICROBIAL PROTEINS

E coli and colicins
What are two ways pathogenic bacteria direct kill
1) exotoxins
2) endotoxins
Exotoxin (how bacteria direct kills)
Bacterial secreted molecules- usually act via a cell-surface receptor
Endotoxins
induce the phagocytes to secrete inappropriate cytokines, causing local or system symptoms
EXOTOXIN Vibrio Cholerae
Cholera
Salmonella Typhi
Tyhoid (endotoxin release)
What are the innate mechanisms of protection
Complement
Defensins (kill pathogens)
Coagulation system that immobilizes bacteria by prevent COLONIZING
Phagocytosis (Pathogen Recognitition receptors: Cr1, Cr3, lectins, scavenger receptors, TLR) (PAMPS aand PRRs) = Macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes

Inflammatory cytokines
How do inflammatory cytokines of innate system work?
Raise body temperature and induce acute phase proteins

iL1- temperature
iL 6- acute phase proteins
How does the bacteria evade?
Pseudomonus- produces a protein that inactivate C3a and C5a- (complement system) so blocks recruitment of other immune cells

Streptococcus pneumonaiae- produce a capsule that prevents phagocytosis
Streptococcus pneumoniae
capsule prevents phagocytosis
prevents large amount of C' binding on surface

BigMAC can't penetrate
Need antibody to CONTROL pneumoniae
What are the 4 steps of bacterial infection?
1) Attachment to host cells via adhesion molecules
2) proliferation
3) Invasion of host tissue
4) toxins induce damage to host cells
Body fights host cell attachement
host defense
Blocked by igA: prevents them from attaching to surface, lining and therefore bacteria can't colonize and proliferate
How does body prevent proliferation
phagocytosis/ complement lysis (innate or igG molecules)
How does the body prevent bacteria invasion of tissue
Antibody agglutination
Prevent toxin damage to host cells
Antibody neutralizes them
"sponges them all up"
Pathogenic mechanism of exotoxin release
Secreted by bacteria in extracellular space- Toxins hit cell- Kill cell
Endotoxin release
With bacteria, trigger cell to secrete inappropriate cytokines that cause local and systemic symptoms.
How do inflammatory cytokines work in innate protection?
Raise body temperature and induce acute phase proteins

iL-1 Temperature
iL-6 acute phase proteins
Two baceterial evasion mechanisms
Pseudomonus

and
streptococcus pneumoniae
Pseudomonus- bacterial evasion
produces a protein that inactivates C3a and C5a that blocks recruitment of other immune cells
Streptococcus PNEUMONIAE
capsule prevents phagocytosis
Prevents large amount of binding C' proteins on surface

BigMAC can't penetrate this capsule
So you need particular Antibody to control streptococcus pneumoniae
Mechanism of Bacterial infection
