Microbial Diseases of the Digestive System Transmitted in food and water Fecal-oral cycle can be broken by: Proper sewage disposal Disinfection of drinking water Proper food preparation and storage
Microbial Diseases of the Digestive System • Transmitted in food and water • Fecal-oral cycle can be broken by: • Proper sewage disposal • Disinfection of drinking water • Proper food preparation and storage

Bacterial Diseases of the Lower Digestive System Symptoms usually include diarrhea,gastroenteritis, dysentery Treated with fluid and electrolyte replacement Infection caused by growth of pathogen Incubation from 12 hr to 2 wk Intoxication caused by ingestion of toxin Symptoms appear 1-48 hr after ingestion
• Symptoms usually include diarrhea, gastroenteritis, dysentery • Treated with fluid and electrolyte replacement • Infection caused by growth of pathogen • Incubation from 12 hr to 2 wk • Intoxication caused by ingestion of toxin • Symptoms appear 1-48 hr after ingestion Bacterial Diseases of the Lower Digestive System
Staphylococcal Food Poisoning Staphylococcus aureus Food containing protein is cooked (bacteria usually killed). enterotoxin is a superantigen Then food is contaminated by worker with staphylococci on hands(competing bacteria have been eliminated). Room temperature holding Organisms incubate in food(temperature abuse)long enough to form and release toxins. (Reheating will eliminate staphylococci but not the toxin.) Food containing toxins is eaten. Staphylococcal In one to six hours,intoxication intoxication occurs. Figure 25.6
Staphylococcal Food Poisoning Figure 25.6 • Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin is a superantigen
Shigellosis Shigella 。 Shigella spp. producing Shiga Epithelial cells lining intestinal tract toxin ·Shiga toxin causes Shigella enter an epithelial cell inflammation and bleeding Shigella multiply inside the cell Shigella invade neighboring epithelial cells, thus avoiding immune defenses An abscess forms as epithelial cells are killed by the infection.The bacteria rarely spread in the bloodstream. Mucosal abscess Figure 25.8
