Streptococcus pyogenes can cause many diseases, including necrotizing fasciitis, impetigo, pharyngitis, pneumonia, and scarlet fever. It has several virulence factors like streptolysins, M protein, streptokinase, and hyaluronidase. Hepatitis A and E are transmitted by the fecal-oral route, while hepatitis B can affect babies, those with sickle cell anemia, and pregnant women. Vibrio bacteria are motile, and endotoxins can cause edema, DIC, death and activate cytokines like TNF and IL-1.
