20
Q

How are genus Escherichia E. coli characterized?

A

By the O polysaccharides components of the LPS and phagonistic capacity.

21
Q

What are the main types of E. coli?

A 
Enterotoxinogenic (ETEC)
Enteropathogenic (EPEC)
Enteroinvasive (EIEC)
Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC)
Extraintestinal pathogenic E. Coli (ExtEC)
22
Q

What does Enterotoxinogenic E. coli cause?

A

Diarrhea in humans (travelers diarrhea) and neonatal colisepticemia in calves and pigs.

23
Q

Why does Enterotoxinogenic E. coli only cause colisepticemia in young animals?

A

Receptors for adhesion are only present for the first week of life in calves and the first six weeks of life in piglets.
K88 (F4) - piglets
K99 (F5) - calves

24
Q

What are some of the virulence factors for Enterotoxinogenic E. coli?

A

Two enterotoxins that are heat stable and heat labile toxins.
They are exotoxins and AB toxins

25

What is another name of the Enterohemorragic E. coli?

A

Shega toxin producing E. coli

26
Q

Why is Enterohemorragic E. coli named Shega toxin producing E. coli?

A

It produces Shiga like toxins (verotoxins)

27
Q

What does Enterohemorragic E. coli cause?

A

Edina disease in piglets

Hemorrhagic enteritis and Hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans

28
Q

What are the two salmonella species we have to know?

A

Salmonella enterica

Salmonella bongori

29
Q

Which Salmonella species has over 2500 serotypes?

A

Salmonella enterica subsp enterica

30
Q

What is unique about Salmonella enterica subsp enterica?

A

The serotypes are named like species, but are actually not.

31
Q

What are some host specific serovars of Salmonella enterica subsp enterica?

A

Salmonella dublin - cattle
Salmonella typhi - humans
Salmonella enteritidis- chickens & humans

32
Q

What does Salmonella enterica subsp enterica cause?

A

Animals: septicemia and acute, subacute and chronic enteritis
Humans: principally gastroenteritis, enteric fever (typhoid) and septicemia

33
Q

What is the difference in Salmonella typhoid and enteric

A

Typhoid is human only and is systemic disease of bacterial invasion of the blood stream.
Enteric is animal and humans restricted to intestinal tract from foodborne infection/intoxication

34
Q

What are the three species of genus Yersinia?

A

Yersinia enterocolitica
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis
Yersinia pestis

35
Q

What is Yersinia enterocolitica known for?

A

It is a pathogen of both animals and humans causes gastroenteritis and other infections.

36
Q

What is Yersinia pseudotuberculosis know for?

A

Mainly an animal pathogen - causes acute enteric disease

37
Q

What is Yersinia pestis known for?

A

Causes Plague in humans, rodents and cats (Zoonotic)

38
Q

What are the three forms of Plague?

A 
Septicemic (infects blood)
Bubonic plague (infects lymph nodes)
Pneumonic plague (infects respiratory tract)
39
Q

Which of the three forms of Plague is the black death

A

Bubonic plague

40
Q

How does Yersinia pestis work?

A

Usually found in small animals and their fleas. Transmitted between animals and humans by the bite of infected fleas, direct contact, inhalation and rarely ingestion of infective materials
