- 0:04So far we have talked about the
- 0:05structure and infective properties about
- 0:07the narium men andis. Now in this video
- 0:09we'll be talking about the pathogenesis.
- 0:11So we'll be talking about
- 0:14pathogenesis.
- 0:17Pathogenesis.
- 0:19Now for the pathogenesis part what we
- 0:21know about the pathogenesis for all the
- 0:23different kinds of bacteria. In
- 0:25pathogenesis bacteria always adopt two
- 0:27different situations. one is to evade or
- 0:30escape the host immune system. So this
- 0:32is the first one. So escaping escaping
- 0:37escaping host
- 0:40host immune system
- 0:44host immunity or host immune system and
- 0:46the second important components for this
- 0:48pathogenesis is a virulence factor
- 0:51destruction. Right? So destruction
- 0:55destruction of
- 0:57host cells right. So these are the two
- 1:02important steps that are carried out by
- 1:03all the bacterias to provide the
- 1:05pathogenesis. Now for the escaping of
- 1:08the host immunity for this nizerium
- 1:10meningitis they are having two different
- 1:11approaches for that. Now one approach
- 1:14for that is simply uh simply the
- 1:17presence of capsule
- 1:19presence of capsule on the outer layer.
- 1:22So the outer layer consists of
- 1:26capsules as we all know because if you
- 1:29imagine the structure of this miseria
- 1:32menitis you can find this half bean like
- 1:35structure and and in the outside what we
- 1:37are having a slimy layer. Now this slimy
- 1:40layer is the capsule layer. So it is
- 1:42helping them to evade or escape the
- 1:44immune system. So this is the first
- 1:46thing that is helping them. Now the
- 1:47second important thing that is also
- 1:48helping them to escape this immune
- 1:50system is the py or the cytoplasmic
- 1:52extension which is coming out. Now this
- 1:54py
- 1:56so this py is helping them again uh to
- 2:00escape the immune system because it is
- 2:01the cytoplasmic extension. So let me
- 2:03write it is called the cytoplasmic
- 2:08cytoplasmic
- 2:10extension.
- 2:13Right? It's called the cytoplasmic
- 2:14extension. So py is not only helping
- 2:17them to escape the immunity of host
- 2:19system but it also helps them to adhere
- 2:22to the host cell and then penetrate and
- 2:24finally go to the host cell. And this
- 2:26pely is also act can also act as this
- 2:29pely can also act as an antigen right it
- 2:32is anti- sorry it's antigen and and and
- 2:35it instigates immune system to develop
- 2:37antibodies. So it's also called
- 2:39antigenic.
- 2:41So antigenic right. So the pill is very
- 2:44very important villance factor above all
- 2:46in niseria menitis. Obviously capsule is
- 2:48helping them to escape and obviously
- 2:50they are having another important
- 2:52mechanisms which is a kind of unique to
- 2:53niseria meningitis. If we can't find it
- 2:56in case of news area but we find it for
- 2:58menis and that property is the third
- 3:01thing I'm going to write and that
- 3:03property is uh simply uh it is it is uh
- 3:08the IgA proteas or immunoglobuline a
- 3:12proteas. Now we all know that
- 3:16imunoglobulins or antibodies are simple
- 3:18protein constructions. Now this IG
- 3:20proteas is an enzyme that will degrade
- 3:23imunoglobuline A. Now what it will do it
- 3:25will degrade imunoglobinia right? So IgA
- 3:28if we write IGA so it will degrade this
- 3:31IgA
- 3:35degradation. Now degradation of IG will
- 3:38help them to reduce the activity against
- 3:41this particular pathogen. Right? So this
- 3:42this this is another way of escaping or
- 3:45evading immune system of host. And now
- 3:48let us talk about the destruction of the
- 3:50host cell. And the destruction of the
- 3:51host cell is largely brought about using
- 3:54the endotoxin.
- 3:56The endotoxin. Now the endotoxin part we
- 3:59know for nizarium meniterase is simply
- 4:02lipoaccharide layer. So let me write the
- 4:05full term here. Lipoaccharide
- 4:08lipoaccharide and this
- 4:09lipoligosaccharides are having small but
- 4:13highly highly branched structure in the
- 4:16O antigen region. The polyosaccharide
- 4:20saccharide they are having very very
- 4:22branched highly branched. So let me
- 4:24write highly branched.
- 4:27Highly branched
- 4:30but short
- 4:33but short
- 4:36O antigen.
- 4:38Right? So that is the important fact.
- 4:40They're having highly branched but short
- 4:42O antigen region here. [snorts] But this
- 4:44lipolycharide is helping them to degrade
- 4:47the host cell. and how it helps to
- 4:48destruct uh in the destruction of the
- 4:50host cell. Actually this this endotoxin
- 4:53is attached to the cell membrane. So
- 4:55it's a part of the cell membrane of gram
- 4:57negative bacteria and we all know that.
- 4:59So let us talk about if this is the
- 5:00bacterial cell and lipopolyaccharide a
- 5:03lipolyosaccharide layer is attached to
- 5:05this this bacterial cell like that. Now
- 5:08usually this won't be acting as a
- 5:11endotoxin if until and unless the cell
- 5:14is degrading itself. So self-destruction
- 5:16or self degradation of its own cell is
- 5:19required for the release of this
- 5:22lipolyosaccharide layer as endotoxin.
- 5:25Now as it is degrading itself as it is
- 5:27degrading itself after the degrade what
- 5:28we get we get the fragmented sections
- 5:31like like this we get the smaller
- 5:33fragments like that. Now as we getting
- 5:34the smaller fragments out the degraded
- 5:37section out now this degraded form. So
- 5:40this is degraded
- 5:44degraded form and this is sorry and this
- 5:46is the degraded form and this is called
- 5:48the endotoxin. This is a active
- 5:51active
- 5:55endotoxin.
- 5:56This form is called the active
- 5:58endotoxin. Right? So all of these are
- 6:00called the active endotoxin and they can
- 6:02act and kill the host cell. Not only can
- 6:05kill the host cell but form different
- 6:06kind of necrosis right. So we all know
- 6:08that they can form the tissue tissue
- 6:10damage or necrosis there. So necrosis
- 6:14will set in this case. Okay. So these
- 6:18are the different effects of the
- 6:19destruction of the host cell using this
- 6:22uh endotoxin. Okay. So that's the
- 6:25pathogenicity and I hope that's helpful.
- 6:28Thank you.
