Enterobacteriaceae character is ?
Largest , Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods, Facultative anaerobes , Ferment glucose, reduce nitrate, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, Normal intestinal flora in humans and animals , organisms in soil, water, and vegetation
Animal reservoirs is ?
Salmonella, Yersinia
Human carriers is ?
Shigella, Salmonella Typhi
Endogenous spread is ?
E. coli from gut to peritoneum

Lactose fermenters is ?
E. coli, Klebsiella
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) major cell wall antigen is ?
▪ O polysaccharide: epidemiologic classification
▪ Core polysaccharide: common.
▪ Lipid A: endotoxin activity
كيف تتحرك Enterobacteriaceae ؟
Fimbriae
Flagella (H antigen)
O antigen is ?
somatic polysaccharides, species-specific
K antigen is ?
capsular, interferes with O antigen detection
H antigen is ?
flagellar, heat-labile, for motile species
Endotoxin (Lipid A) released ?
upon cell lysis
ماذا يحدث عند إفراز ال Endotoxin (Lipid A) ؟
❖ Complement activation, cytokine release, fever, leukocytosis
❖ Can lead to septic shock, thrombocytopenia, and disseminated
intravascular coagulation (DIC
Capsules be ?
▪ Hydrophilic capsule repels phagocytes
▪ Protective role reduced if host produces specific antibodies
Salmonella enterica typhi Distinguishing Features is ?
Gram-negative rods, highly motile with the Vi capsule, Facultative anaerobe , non–lactose fermenting, Produces H2S , Sensitive to acid
Enteric (Typhoid) Fever Symptoms is ?
Fever, headache, myalgia, anorexia
Septicemia Caused by ?
Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Paratyphi,
Salmonella Choleraesuis
(S. enteritidis, S. typhimurium)
Distinguishing Features
▪ Facultative gram-negative rods, non–lactose fermenting on EMB,
MacConkey medium
▪ Produces H2S, motile (unlike Shigella

Septicemia Meningitis Osteomyelitis
UTI and endocarditis or reactive arthritis complicates
Enterocolitis/gastroenteritis symptoms ?
nausea; vomiting; only occasionally
bloody, loose stools; fever; abdominal pain; myalgia; headache
UTI and endocarditis or reactive arthritis complicates symptoms?
Eye irritation, painful urination and painful joints
What is Treatment of Salmonella ?
ampicillin, third-generation
cephalosporin, fluoroquinolone, Ciprofloxacin, or
TMP-SMX for invasive disease
most severe disease of SHIGELLA is ?

Shiga toxin
Produced by?
S. dysenteriae, type 1
