Q

What is the name of the enzyme H.pylori secret for survival and why?

A

Urease enzyme. This breaks down Urea and we get Bicarbonate and Amoniam which further buffer the acidic stomach environment for survival of H.pylori.

H.pylori also well protected against our Immunity system by sitting near the lining.

Q

Why food poisoning occour ?

A

Because we eat contaminated food sometimes. So may be bacteria is sitting there for long time and they multiply there and they secret toxins on the food.

59
Q

Antibiotic associated diarrhoeal disease

A

Most common adverse event for antibiotics
Damage GI microflora good and bad both
Good microflora is important which inhibit stablishing pathogenic bacteria.
Loss of metabolic function of microflora.

60
Q

Why anitibiotic associated diarrhoeal disease occour ?

A

One bacteria called C.difficile which is a toxin producing bacteria can not stablish due to GI good microflora. but as we use antibiotics our normal microflora also die at the same time C.difficile also aggrevate as a result diarrhoea occur.

61
Q

Do we need Probiotics for diarrhea

A

There is some evidence of the efficacy of having probiotics for the antibiotic-associated diarrhoeal disease.
But they have some adverse effects as well of using probiotics so better not to take probiotics as the normal microflora will establish themselves on time anyway.
