specialized secretion systems in some pathogenic bacteria are? a. used to acidify their local environment b. used to export building blocks of peptidoglycan c. used to release toxins into other cells d. used to import attractants



Answer :

Specialized secretion systems in some pathogenic bacteria are used to release toxins into other cells. Thus, option C is correct.

Since several secretion systems include machinery to move proteins across the host cell's plasma membrane because many secreted proteins (such as effectors and toxins) are meant to enter the cell.

In order to secrete chemicals, bacteria have protein complexes on their cell membranes called bacterial secretion systems. They are the biological mechanisms that pathogenic bacteria use to release their virulence factors that allow them to infiltrate the host cells.

Bacterial virulence factors can enter host cells directly or through the extra-cellular space. Gram positive bacteria has eight such systems ranging from type I to type VIII.
