• Siderophore (for iron uptake)

  
  extracellular iron-binding compounds which can extract Fe3+ from lactoferrin (or transferrin) and supply iron to cells for growth. 

• Horizontal gene transfer

  DNA transferred between bacteria via conjugation, transformation, transduction and transposons, possibility antibiotics resistance transfer

• Two component system (TCS)

  Sensory system;
  - sensor will signal to the repressor and thereby regulate transcription of antibiotic resistance genes

• Adherence factor, adhesin

  Bacterial structure (fimbria, S-layer, capsule, LPS, LTA) that binds bacteria to surface or specific receptor

• Tight junction protease

  Enterotoxin, fragilisin enables entry through epithelium (Bacteroides fragilis)

• Mucus degrading enzyme

  Move through mucus to reach epithelium (Akkermansia)

• Manipulate actin cytoskeleton

  Generate actin-rich pedestal for invasion (enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli)
