Endocarditis occurs only in immunocompromised

It is so small that it can squeeze

It can get to the blood only if the

bacteria are deposited directly there, that is, through a puncture.

It secretes enzymes that create

It secretes a toxin that induces

its uptake into intestinal epithelial cells.
