Some species of pathogenic bacteria are able to attack specific tissues in the human body because of
A) adhesion factors.
B) bioremediaton factors.
C) flagella.
D) conjugation pili.
E) cilia.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adhesion factors allow pathogenic bacteria to attach to specific tissues within the body, enabling them to infect and cause disease. Bioremediation factors are enzymes used by bacteria to break down pollutants in the environment. Flagella are used for movement, but not for tissue-specific targeting. Conjugation pili are involved in genetic transfer between bacteria, but not in tissue-specific targeting. Cilia are cellular organelles found in multicellular organisms, but not in bacteria.
