Pathological Factor

Hemolysin has been known to be an important virulence factor in the pathogenic processes of many clinical microorganisms, causing hemorrhagic septicemia and diarrhoea. It can lyse erythrocytes and a variety of other cells including mast cells, neutrophiles, and polymorphonuclear cells as well as enhance virulence by causing tissue damage or by dissolving material that would prevent spreading of the pathogen throughout the tissue.

Disease

gastroenteritis, primary septicemia

Symptoms

symptoms can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, head-aches, chills, and low-grade fever.

Affected Body Organs

stomach and intestines
