98
Q

Resolution of bacterial infection

A

Immunity and physical factors (abscesses) contribute to clearance –> does not equal resolution

99
Q

Enterotixin vs cytotoxin

A

Enterotoxin: functional alteration

Cytotoxin: Cellular damage

100
Q

Gastroenteritis enterotoxins

A

Cholera

E. Coli Labile toxin

Bacillus cereus toxin

101
Q

Gastroenteritis cytotoxin

A

Shigella

C. Diff

C. Perfringes

102
Q

Exotoxin structure

A

A: Enzymatic activity

B: Binding domain

103
Q

Cholera toxin

A

Increase cAMP –> Increase Cl release into lumen –> diarrhea

104
Q

Shiga like toxins

A

Released by Enterohemorrhagic E. Coli

Esp: E. Coli O157:H7

Attack endothelial cells

105
Q

Hemolytic Uremic syndrome

A

Shiga like toxin attacks endothelial cells –> platelets deposit –> blood cells caught in fibrin deposition –> ischemia –> kidney failure

106
Q

Salmonella

A

G(-) bacilli, ferments sugars, oxidase negative

Contaminated food, fecal oral transmission, reptiles

Enteritidis: Does not survive gastric acid, needs high dose

Typhy/Shigaella are more acid resistant

When reach terminal ileum, pili attach to epithelial cells and M cells –> Type II secretion helps salmonella invade and survive

Inflammation/hemorrhage/epithelial injury

107
Q

Listeria

A

Internalins: Adhere to epithelial cells
Listeriolysin O: Escape from phagosome
ActA - move to adjacent cell

Injury, inflammation, hemorrhage

108
Q

Watery, large volume stools

No fever or blood in stool

Focus on SI - vomiting

111

Enterotoxins = superantigens

Cytokine release = serotonin = emesis

Short incubation, vomiting, cramping, no diarrhea

114
Q

Bacillus cereus

A

Emetic: Cerulide toxin - stimulates serotonin
1-6 hr after ingest food
Rice products/starchy food

Diarrheal: Other toxins
6-15 hr after ingestion

Meat, milk, vegetables, fish

Watery diarrhea

116
Q

C. Perfringes

A
