22
Q

pathogenesis ETEC

A

produces heat-labile toxin (LT) and heat-stabile toxin (ST) –> induce chloride and water secretion while inhibiting intestinal fluid absorption

23
Q

most common bacterial enteric pathogen in developed countries and an important cause of traveler’s diarrhea

A

campylobacter jejuni

24
Q

pathogenesis yersinia

A

invade M cells and use adhesins to bind to B1 integrins –> pathogenicity island encodes iron uptake system (iron enhances virulence and dissemination)

25
Q

mode of transmission vibrio cholera

A

fecal-oral, water, shellfish

26
Q

clinical features entamoeba histolytica

A

abd pain, bloody diarrhea, weight loss

27
Q

clinical features giardia lamblia

A

acute or chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, weight loss

28
Q

pathogenesis of shigella

A

taken up by M cells in intestine –> proliferate intracellularly –> escape into lamina propria –> phagocytosed by macrophages –> induce apoptosis –> epithelial damage which allows shigella within intestinal lumen to gain access to basolateral membranes

29
Q

pathogenesis EHEC

A

O157:H7 and non-O157:H7 produce shiga-like toxins

30
Q

pathogenesis EIEC

A

invade epithelial cells and cause non-specific features of acute self-limiting colitis
(NO shiga toxin)

31
Q

mode of transmission whipple disease (Tropheryma whippelii)

A

unkown

32
Q

pathogenesis whipple dz (tropheryma whippelii)

A

organism-laden macrophages accumulate within the small intestinal lamina propria and mesenteric lymph nodes –> impaired lymphatic transport

33
Q

mode of transmission enteric (typhoid) fever (salmonella typhi)

A

fecal-oral, water

34
Q

clinical features strongyloides

A

eosinophilia

35
Q

pathogenesis EPEC

A

produce attaching and effacing lesions in which bacteria attach tightly to enterocyte apical membrane and cause local loss (effacement) of microvilli
(NO shiga toxin)

36
Q

clinical features of campylobacter spp.

A

watery or bloody diarrhea

37
Q

pathogenesis rotavirus

A

selectively infects and destroys mature enterocytes in small intestine

38
Q

pathogenesis tyhpoid fever (salmonella tyhpi)

A

taken up by M cells in intestine –> engulfed by mononuclear cells in underlying lymphoid tissue –> disseminate in the blood and lymph

39
Q

mode of transmission ETEC

A

food or fecal-oral

40
Q

clinical features ascaris lumbricoides

A

physical obstruction of intestine or biliary tree, hepatic abscesses, pneumonitis

41
Q

mode of transmission EAEC

A

unkown

42
Q

clinical features of EPEC

A

watery diarrhea

43
Q

clinical features cryptosporidium

A

watery diarrhea

44
Q

mode of transmission norovirus

A

large outbreaks: contaminated food or water

sporadic cases: person-person transmission

45
Q

mode of transmission EHEC

A

beef, milk, produce

46
Q

clinical features adenovirus

A

diarrhea, vomiting, abd pain

47
Q

principal cause of traveler’s dairrhea and spread via contaminated food or water

A

ETEC

48
Q

what microorganism can cause hemolytic uremic syndrome and ischemic colitis

A

EHEC

49
Q

pathogenesis c. diff (pseudomembranous colitis)

A

release toxins that cause ribosylation of small GTPases and lead to disruption of epithelial cytoskeleton, tight junction barrier loss, cytokine release, and apoptosis

50
Q

clinical features of whipple disease (Tropheryma whippelii)

A

malabsorption

51
Q

pathogenesis of salmonella (nontyphoid)

A

type III secretion system capable of transferring bacterial proteins into M cells and enterocytes –> activate Rho GTPases –> trigger actin rearrangement and bacterial endocytosis –> allows bacterial growth within endosomes

52
Q

clinical features of cholera

A

severe watery diarrhea

- “rice water stool”

53
Q

pathogenesis EAEC

A

attach to enterocytes via adherence fimbriae and aided by dispersin which neutralizes the negative surface charge of LPS
(NO shiga toxin)

54
Q

pathogenesis of vibrio cholera

A

stimulation of adenylate cyclase –> increase in intracellular cAMP –> opens CFTR –> releases CL- into lumen –> draws water into lumen –> severe watery diarrhea
