Compare and contrast the mechanisms of pathogenesis (how they cause disease) employed by bacteria and viruses.
Bacterial pathogenesis mechanisms:
Viral pathogenesis mechanisms:
* Attachment and entry: Viruses bind to specific receptors on host cells and enter the cell.
* Viral replication: The virus hijacks the host cell machinery to replicate its own genetic material and produce new virus particles.
* Cell lysis: The host cell bursts open, releasing new virus particles that can infect other cells.
* Immunomodulation: Some viruses can suppress or alter the host immune response.
