Virulence Factors of Eikenella
Adhesin Mitogen
Slime Lectinlike substances
Endotoxin H2S
Beta-lactamase (penicillinase)
Phospholipase C (epithelial cell and membrane phospholipids) Surface associated material (saline extract) inhibits bone synthesis
They are able to produce many virulence factors.  These include
•An Adhesin
•Slime
•Endotoxin
•A Mitogen
•A Lectinlike substances
•H2S
•Beta-lactamase (penicillinase)
•Phospholipase C, which breaks down epithelial cell and membrane phospholipids, causing cell lysis,
•And a surface associated material that inhibits bone synthesis.
