30: CONJUGATION

Sharing antibiotic resistance plasmids by conjugation has turned the much-ignored opportunist A. baumanii into a pathogen of repute. Carbapenemases for the win?

28: ADHESION

Infectious disease can be caused by mere stickiness, as with misfolded Prion proteins. We all have Prions, but if infectious misfolded Prions stick to them, they mis-fold too & the stickiness spreads.

26: COMPETITION

Dengue fever virus has 5 serotypes that compete for hosts. Primary infection with 1 makes further infection with another much more dangerous. So it’s a real killer competition!

25: TRANSPOSON

Also known as jumping genes, they’re a handy tool in a many pathogen's toolkit. Transposons give Cryptococcus neoformans the genetic room it needs to adapt & resist antibiotics during infection.

24: ZOONOTIC

Sometimes we're incidental hosts to pathogens. Ebolaviruses mostly infect non-human primates & bats. Our Ebola outbreaks start w. a spillover from these animals, before human to human spread takes over

20: LUMINESCENCE

Yes, there are luminescent pathogens too... Vibrio harveyi causes luminescent vibriosis in farmed shrimp. This may involve widespread necrosis in their appendages, but what a pretty colour!

18: MOTILITY

Proteus is a catheter opportunist with a bullseye motility pattern, due to cycling btw vegetative & swarmer states. A switch to swarming causes massive elongation, many more flagella & all the nasties!

14: CHEMOTAXIS

Helicobacter uses chemotaxis to swim towards some tasty sugars on the lining of the stomach, and finds its home there for life
