Inflammatory mediators mainly perform defensive roles. These will be triggered as defense mechanism in response to damaged living tissues in living organisms.

Explain the mechanism by which mechanical stimulation of the skin produces a flare?

As found on Page 504 of the Pearson Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual 9th edition.The redness or flare observed after mechanical stimulation of the skin results from a local inflammatory response promoted by chemical mediators released by injured tissues.These mediators stimulate increased blood flow into the area and leaking of fluid (from the capillaries) into the local tissues.Note about an extremely sensitive skin condition:Dermatographism: a condition in which the direct line of stimulation will swell quite obviously is called a "wheal".

How does urinary tract infection cause delirium?

The real answer is we don't know. That being said, there is a lot of speculation that the inflammatory response causes a release of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines which cause a dissociation in neurotransmitters, presumably affecting the hippocampus. Fluid and electrolyte abnormalities are frequently encountered as contributing factors in elderly delirium. Dehydration coupled with electrolye and/or glucose imbalance (and inflammatory markers that change blood flow and composition) may be at the heart of the process underlying delirium caused by UTIs. This process remains poorly understood.

What are the virulence factors for propionibacterium acnes?

The primary virulence factors of propionibacterium acnes are lipase (which helps to break down the yucky oils/lipids on our face), hyaluronidase (which is an enzyme that breaks down the connective tissues and increases the permeability of connective tissues), neuraminidase, proteases, inflammatory mediators, and other enzymes.
