Summary Introduction

Infection in an individual occurs when a particular disease causing microorganism occupies a host thereby resulting in health related diseases. Host pathogen interaction defines the process of infection. In the case of susceptible host, the infection would occur at higher pace as compared to normal and healthy individual. The pathogen should also get optimum conditions for development in the host cell to increase the process of infection. Certain tissue destroying enzymes may activate or inhibit the process of infection.
