Trauma causes increases in total protease load in the circulation of the traumatized host animal or patient. This increase is due, in part, to Hageman Factor activation followed by down-line cascade system activation. Concomitant with the activation of these systems is a reduced host capacity to resist infection. Infection superimposed on a traumatized host increases the total host protease load even more by additional activation of Hageman Factor and cascade systems.

Determinants of Bacterial Pathogenicity and Virulence

Pathogenic bacteria employ a variety of strategies to establish infections, including the secretion of extracellular enzymes that act as potent virulence factors. These enzymes facilitate bacterial colonization of host tissues and help evade immune surveillance. By targeting structural components of host tissues and interfering with immune mechanisms, these enzymes play a pivotal role in disease progression.Extracellular Enzymes Facilitating Tissue Invasion: Several bacterial pathogens secrete...
