Bacterial infections of the lung that arise secondary to viral disease are attributable in part to:

A) the high virulence of the bacterial pathogen
B) viruses providing attachment receptors for the bacteria
C) the host's phagocytes mutating
D) an impaired mucociliary escalator due to dehydration of host
E) the low virulence of the viral disease
