Q

osmotic diarrhea

A

-intestinal osmolarity is higher than internal of mucosal cells, causing water to leave the cells
-pathogens that prevent nutrient absorption can cause osmotic diarrhea

Q

secretory diarrhea

A

-increased ion secretion causes electrolytes to leave, leading to imbalance and water leaving intestinal cells.
-Pathogens that cause ion secretion cause secretory diarrhea.

16
Q

rotavirus

A

-fecal-oral route
-nonenveloped, segmented, dsRNA
-enterotoxin that causes hypermotility of the intestinal tract
-vaccine prevents severe disease

17
Q

norovirus

A

-fecal-oral route
-nonenveloped, positive sense, ssRNA
-causes sudden onset of symptoms; can also cause fever, headache, and malaise
-outbreaks common on cruise ships

18
Q

paramyxovirus

A

Single-stranded RNA virus
Highly infectious, self-limiting infection
Parotid glands
Shed in saliva
Spread via sneezing and coughing
Causes massive swelling of parotid glands and can cause harm if swelling of testes occurs
Vaccination has eliminated most cases

19
Q

Helicobacter pylori

A

Gram-negative
Survives acidic nature
Urease
Symptoms
Dyspepsia, upper abdominal pain, bloating, belching, nausea
Treatment
Proton pump inhibitors
Antibiotics

20
Q

Enterotoxigenic E. Coli (ETEC)

A

Produces labile toxin
Causes secretory, watery diarrhea
No animal reservoirs

21
Q

enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC)

A

causes bloody diarrhea similar to that caused by Shigella

22
Q

Enterohemorrhagic E. Coli (EHEC)

A

Shiga toxin
Causes bloody diarrhea
In severe cases EHEC can lead to hemolytic uremia syndrome and thrombocytopenic purpura-clots in either kidneys or circulatory system (skin hemorrhages)

23
Q

shigellosis

A

Bloody diarrhea
Also called bacillary dysentery
Similar pathogenesis to EIEC
No animal reservoir, but is transmitted between humans through fecal-oral route via food or water
Symptoms include
Abdominal cramping
Fever
Vomiting
Watery diarrhea

24
Q

Salmonellosis

A

two major diseases are typhoid fever and enterocolitis

25
Q

typhoid fever

A

No animal reservoir
Associated with food preparation
Intermittent fevers and diarrhea for 1‒3 weeks
Usually resolves after 3-4 weeks, but sometimes antibiotics

26
Q

enterocolitis

A

Associated with animal contact
Short-term illness lasts 6‒48 hours-nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
Not treated with antibiotics unless septicemia

27
Q

yersiniosis

A

Gastrointestinal disease caused by
Y. enterocolitica
Y. pseudotuberculosis
Gram-negative bacilli
Associated with wild and domestic animals
Transmitted through food or milk
Can grow at refrigerator temperatures
Causes general enteritis lasting up to 2 weeks
Fever, cramping, sometimes nausea and vomiting, diarrhea
Antibiotics not recommended

28
Q

Campylobacter enterocolitis

A

Gram-negative, corkscrew shape
Number one cause of diarrhea worldwide
Transmitted through consumption of poorly handled or undercooked meat and unpasteurized milk
Immunocompromised patients can experience disseminated disease.
Pancreas, gallbladder, heart muscles, or peritoneum
Hydration therapy, no antibiotics unless severe
Rarely, infection causes an autoimmune disease called Guillain-Barré syndrome (nerve damage)

29
Q

cholera

A

Vibrio cholerae
Gram-negative curved rod with a single flagellum
Transmitted via fecal-oral route
Contaminated water
“Rice water stools”
Noninvasive; therefore, does not cause fever or bloody stools

30
Q

cholera toxin

A

secretory diarrhea-stimulates secretion of electrolyes

31
Q

listeriosis

A

Listeria monocytogenes
Gram-positive, non-spore‒forming coccobacilli
Associated with animals and animal products
Especially unpasteurized dairy
Causes a mild gastroenteritis
Immunocompromised patients experience disseminated infection and severe septicemia
The bacteria lives inside macrophages to avoid detection by the immune system

32
Q

antibiotic-associated colitis

A

Clostridium difficile (commonly called C. diff)
Gram-positive, endospore-forming
Chronic antibiotic
Nosocomial infection due to improper cleaning and disinfection coupled with vulnerable populations
Toxin production
Toxins A, B, and CDT
Treatment is often fecal bacterial transplant.

33
Q

staphylococcus food poisoning

A

Staphylococcus aureus
Gram-positive, cocci
Symptoms are seen within 2‒6 hours upon ingestion
Toxin is heat stable
