extracellular enzymes - increase protection against host defenses and attack and kill host defensive cells to enable spread of infection two extracellular enzymes - coagulase & hyaluronidase coagulase - -pathogen produces coagulase -coagulase causes formation of a clot around pathogen -kinase causes breakdown of a clot -bacteria is released into blood hyaluronidase - -pathogens approach epithelium -pathogens produce hyaluronidase -pathogen can now invade deeper tissues Bacterial toxins...

Agonist - Competitive inhibition, binds to active site and causes a signal response in receptive tissue. Antagonist (blocker) - Competitive inhibitor, binds to active site so signal molecules cannot bind but causes no response in receptive tissue, can bind and release eventually.

Example: tetrodotoxin form Fugu fish...
