What do hyaluronidase and kinase have in common? - Answer-They are both enzymes
involved in evading host defense..
How are immune cells able to detect foreign pathogens? - Answer-They are able to

How do superantigens enable pathogens to hide from the immune system if they
actually stimulate the immune system? - Answer-They cause the immune system to
produce an exaggerated response, distracting it from the actual pathogen.
How can capsules enable bacteria to evade the immune system? - Answer-Capsules
block the complement biding sites on the surface of the pathogen.

plumbing and in which drinking water is contaminated with sewage? - Answer-cholera.
Which of the following statements about lysogenic conversion is true? - Answer-
