| pathogenicity | the ability to cause disease |
| virulence | the extent of pathogenicity |
| respiratory tract | easiest and most frequently traveled portal of entry for infectious microorganisms |
| ID50 | the number of microorganisms required to produce a demonstrable infection in 50% of the test host population |
| LD50 | lethal dose for 50% of the inoculated hosts within a given period |
| adherence | attachment to the host cell |
| glycocalyx | prevents phagocytosis/ enhance virulence |
| M protein | attachment and resistance to phagocytosis |
| Opa protein | inhibits T helper cells/ attachment with fimbriae |
| mycolic acid | component of cell wall that resists digestion |
| biofilms | protect bacteria/ microbial communities/ resist disinfection and antibiotics |
