Mechanical transmission does not involove any infection of the transmitter. The pathogen does not grow or multiply inside the transmitter and no intermediat developement of the pathogen occurs until it is transmitted to host by the transmitter. Biological transmission does include developement of the pathogen inside the transmitter species.
Coagulase is important for pathogens because it promotes blood clotting, which helps the pathogen evade the host immune response and wall off the infection. By forming blood clots, coagulase helps the pathogen establish a protected niche within the host where it can multiply and survive.
Bacteria do not need a host organism to live and multiply.
After a white blood cell destroys a pathogen, it can either die itself or continue circulating in the body to fight other pathogens. The debris from the destroyed pathogen is usually broken down and eliminated from the body through processes such as phagocytosis or excretion.
Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply.
The injected microorganisms in a vaccine may have the same antigens as the live pathogen, but they are weakened or killed to prevent disease. This allows the immune system to recognize and build immunity against these antigens without causing illness.
