Host-Parasite Relationship• Human host is normally in contact with many
microorganisms (normal flora)• Only a small number of these microorganism
(primary and opportunistic pathogens) can causedisease.
• Host-parasite relationships (interaction) ischaracterized by fighting the organism to invadethe body and the body defending itself byprotective measures.
� Host-parasite relationship is discussed under : pathogenicity & normal flora

Definitions� Host : human (or animal or others) that support the growth
and survival and protection of the parasite . � Parasite :bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites which live in
or within the host ,may cause disease or live mutually with the host.
� Pathogenicity : the ability of the microorganism to cause diseases
� A Pathogen :a microorganism having the capacity to cause disease in a particular host.
-A pathogen may infect one body organ or multiple organs.

Definitions, cont.-Some pathogens enter into latent state ( infection but no symptoms) eg. Mycobacterium tuberculosis .
� Infection : invasion of cells and multiplication by microorganisms without tissue destruction.
� Disease : is the end product of an infectious process (signs & symptoms of infection)
![Page 6: Host Parasite Relationshipksumsc.com/download_center/1st/1.

Definitions, cont.� Resistance: The ability of the host to prevent establishment of
infection by using its defense mechanisms.
� Susceptibility: Lack of resistance to an organism and establishment of disease.
� Transmissibility: The ability to spread from one host to another. This enables the microorganism to maintain continuity of its species in the event of death of original host.
Modes of transmission :airborne, contact, vehicle or vector

� Virulence is the degree of pathogenicity , or the ability to invade and destroy tissue to produce disease.
Virulence is measured by the Lethal dose 50 (LD50)which is the number of organisms or mg of toxins that will kill 50% of susceptible lab animals ( usually mice ) when injected into such animals.
When the LD 50 is small, the microorganism is considered highly virulent and when it is high the organism is considered having low virulence.
eg. Shigella spp. is more virulent than Salmonella spp.

PathogensCan be divided according to the degree of pathogenicity
into:
a) Primary pathogens:An organism that is able to cause disease in an apparently healthy individual who is non- immune to that organism. e.g. - Bordetella species
- Mycobacterium tuberculosisb)Opportunistic ( secondary) pathogens:
Having low pathogenicity and infects people with low immunity. eg. Pseudomonas & S. epidermidis

Host resistance to parasite invasion1. Non specific defense is part of natural constitution of
the host. Examples:� Skin mechanical barrier� Ciliated epithelium of respiratory tract� Competition by normal flora� Low pH of the stomach� Cough� Peristalsis� Lysozymes� Neutrophils
2. Specific defense is an acquired resistance to certain organism: e.g. Antibodies

Foundation Block/Female Group/Microbiology/04- Host...The ability of the host to prevent establishment of infection by using](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040906/5e7b9d9d7f4bad7da61fe962/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Determinants of pathogenicityBefore causing disease, the microorganism should have the ability to:a) Adherence & colonization: attachment to host epithelialsurface .
b) Survive ( resist ) host natural defense mechanisms.
c) Multiply to large numbers.
d) Tissue Destruction: the ability to overcome host defense ,invade the tissues and cause destruction to produce clinicaldisease.

Adherence & colonization
§ By means of adhesins (adherence factors) found on bacterial surfaces.
a) Pilib) Other protein surface structuresc) Capsid spikes (of viruses)
§ Structures on host cells involved in adhesion include:a) Fibronectinb) Proteins and glycopeptide

Tissue destruction by:
a) Toxin production ,either:- Exotoxin: produced outside the gram positive
and gram negative bacteria eg. cholera toxin, or- Endotoxin: only found in gram negative bacteria
b) Invasion by:- Capsulated ,or- Non-capsulated organisms

• Capsulated organisms :Bacteria that have capsule.Capsules are polysaccharide (except the capsule of Bacillus anthracis is polypeptide).Capsule prevents phagocytosis and capture by immune system.
The organisms are readily killed once phagocytosed. Therefore called extracellular (EC) organismseg. S.pneumoniae (Pneumococcus)
Haemophilus influenzae

• Non capsulated organisms resist intracellular killing therefore called intracellular ( IC) organisms.eg.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis,Salmonella typhi, Brucella species.
