Question
Chapter 25.5, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
Virulence of the pathogen is governed by certain types of enzymes. The enzymes produced from the concerned microorganism exhibit antagonistic nature. These enzymes help in the process of coagulation (blood clotting) and at the same time, these enzymes make different ways for the protection of microorganisms by promoting invasion and growth in different cells and tissues during the process of coagulation.
