Secretion Pertussis Increase Human Cilia Bordetella Virulence Mucous

Front Bordetella Pertussis Virulence  
Back Increase mucous secretion in the throat 
Toxin--> increase cAMP-->increase water secretion (diarrhea in the throat) 
- Pertussis Toxin (A-B subunit) -->Attachment to human cilia (block cilia movement) --> Increase mucus secretion (increase cAMP levels) 
- Filamentous Hemagglutinin --> Attachment to human cilia
