Periodontal disease
Inflammatory gums cause plaque
Old people
Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
Bleeding painful guns
Broken teeth
Bad breath
Destroy tissues
Protozoan diseases
Trophozoites Cysts Diarrhea Fecal contaminated water Giardiasis, ambesias, c
Helicobacter pylori gastritis
Asymptomatic Microaerophillic Produce urease to survive stomach acids Leads to pelpic ulcers and stomach cancer Fecal oral
Oral herpes
Virus
Cold sores
Cold sores and skin/mucous/saliva carry virions
Mumps
Painful swelling of one or both parotid glands
Painful enlargement of the testicles are the in men and pelvic pain in women
Humans are the only source
No treatment, vaccine available
Enterotoxins
Increase secretion of water and electrolytes
Cytotoxins
Cell death
Cholera
Potentially fatal watery diarrhea
Dehydration, shock, organ failure, death
Oral rehydration therapy; replacing fluids
Vibrio cholerae; alkaline
AMP activates ion transport channels in the membrane causing CL and other electrolytes and water to pour out of cell
Caused by the AB toxin
Bacteriophage infects v cholerae, causes lysogenic conversion
Fecally contaminated water
Shigellosis
Dysentery, joint pain
Pass through intestinal barrier in M cells
Actin tails spread, invasion and spread leads to death
Inflammation and ulcerations of intestinal lining
Shiga toxin
Fecal oral
Human source
E.coli Gastroenteritis
Ecoli strains with virulence factors cause UTI, septicemia, meningitis
Shiga toxin causes Hemolytic uremic syndrome: anemia due to lysis of red blood cells and kidney failure
Colonize small intestine and cause watery diarrhea
Colonize large intestine and cause dysentery
Salmonella gastroenteritis
Feces in food (poultry)
Diarrhea
High dose
Enterobacteriaceae
Shigella
Ecoli
Salmonella
Typhoid and paratyphoid fevers
Enteric fevers
Systemic diseases that originate in the intestine
Salmonella typhoon
Clostridium difficile infection
Antibiotic associated diarrhea
Colitis
Toxins cause lethal effects
