Bacterial Pathogenesis: How Bacteria Cause Damage

Published 2019-12-16
So we know that there are unbelievable numbers of bacteria inside of us, and some of them are good. So what about the bad ones? What do those do? How do they harm us, exactly? What defenses do we have against them? Let's take a look!

  • A lot of information, a variety of knowledge, yours are amazing to see.
  • i've always found it fascinating that many times the symptoms of bacterial infection are the result of our immune system's activation. thank you for the video.
  • @NoobityBoobity
    Haven't needed you in 3 years. Your chemistry videos saved my ass from failing a thrid time. Good to get a refresher, especially since I'm working at an animal hospital as a vet tech now
  • thanks Dave.. Great education. This is a very important presentation. Very valuable
  • @Pwnasaur
    Very enlightening and entertaining, thanks!
  • THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!! I was starting to feel like I couldn't understand the gist of micro...
  • @futureflow8645
    So which would be the top3 bacteria that can creat anxiety? ‘Nervous system infecting ones?’ Or gut? When I take antibiotics, I always feel super energized & anxiety disappears instantly
  • I assume mold Mycotoxins enter through the mucus membranes. Do you know what and how these mycotoxins ( i has exact types if you desire),effects the body systems? Would be a GREAT presentation for Utube! Thank you
  • @Tired_Patriot
    Professor Dave! You are fast becoming my Hero! I love these videos.. You said tears contain enzymes that fight bacteria--so does that mean they only fight bacteria they come in contact with as they run down your face? Probably a dumb question :( .
  • @dailyhabits643
    How to turn our body into the worst experience for bacteria?
  • You'd think it would rarely be in a bacterium's interest to harm the host enough to make the body react in such a way to attack it.
