Which bacteria on our pathogens list are cloakrooms?
E. coli. Klebsiella, Serratia, (common but not on list enterobacter and ctirobacter)
What types of E. coli tend to be pathenogentic?
ETEC (Entertoxigenic E. coli)
Enterohemorriagic E. coli
Uropathonogenic e. Eoli (cause UTIS)
Descrie EHEC. What is its designation? How is it transmitted? What are kind of toxin does it have?
It is called E. coli 0157:H7
Ground beef, unpasteurized milk or fruit juice, produce.

Hemorrhagic colitis, Kidney disorder (Hemolyitic uremic sydrome).
What aids in Klebsiella’s proliferation in the body? How you describe it’s pathogenicity?
Muccoid Capsules that help evade phagocytosis. It is an oppotunitic pathogen.
What diseases are can be cause by Klebsiella pneumonia?
Menigitisits, pnemonia, bacteremia, UTIs
Which enterbactericae can also be native microbiota?
Klebisella, E. Coli
How is Serrate most commonly acquired? By whom? What are trouble with treating it?
It is often by catheters and other hospital equipment. By immune compromised patentees. It is very resistant to antimicrobial drugs
Which two bacteria are associated with catheter? Which is most associated with long term use?
Serratia and Proteus mirabillis. P. mirabillis is most associated with long term catheter use.
Decirbe importnat info about Proteus.
Non coliform opportunistic enterbacteriaceae. Infections from catheters. Causes kidneys stone by raises pH from urease.
What are the truly pathogenic enteric bacteria?
