Some bacteria's are capable of forming capsules there is also a increase in the virulence and this resits hosts defenses by impairing phagocytes. examples of this can occur with Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Bacillus anthracis.
The enzyme coagulase which is able to coagulates fibrinogen is able to form blood clot and this protects the bacterium from phagocytosis and isolates it to form other deference of the host. Coagulases are produced by some staphylococci.
The enzyme Kinases, which is able to break down fibrin clots such as Streptokinase which is produced by S. Pyogenes. The Hyaluronidase is able to hydrolyise hyaluronic acid and this helps to spread from its initial site of infection.
-Collagenase = Hydrolases collagen
-IgA Proteases=Destroy IgA antibodies
The hosts cells in cytoskeleton provides the mechanism and actin is used and is used to penetrate hosts cells and this moves through and between hosts cells.
