How it begins

Cadena epidemiológica, adhesión, invasión tisular, cápsula, exotoxinas, endotoxina LPS, superantígenos, biofilms, inmunidad innata, adaptativa y evasión inmune. Factores de virulencia, islas de patogenicidad (PAIs), sistemas de secreción tipo I a VII, adhesinas, invasinas, exotoxinas tipo I (superantígenos), tipo II (poros y fosfolipasas), tipo III (toxinas A-B), endotoxina LPS, evasión inmune y casos clínicos.
