Botulism Clostridium botulinum Gram-positive,endospore-forming,obligate anaerobe Intoxication due to ingesting botulinal toxin Botulinal toxin blocks release of neurotransmitter causing flaccid paralysis 。Prevention: ·Proper canning Nitrites prevent endospore germination in sausages
• Clostridium botulinum • Gram-positive, endospore-forming, obligate anaerobe • Intoxication due to ingesting botulinal toxin • Botulinal toxin blocks release of neurotransmitter causing flaccid paralysis • Prevention: • Proper canning • Nitrites prevent endospore germination in sausages Botulism
Botulism Treatment:supportive care and antitoxin Infant botulism results from C.botulinum growing in intestines Wound botulism results from growth of C.botulinum in wounds
• Treatment: supportive care and antitoxin • Infant botulism results from C. botulinum growing in intestines • Wound botulism results from growth of C. botulinum in wounds. Botulism
Botulism 。Type A 。60-70%fatality Found in CA,WA,CO,OR,NM ·Type B ·25%fatality Europe and eastern U.S. 。Type E Found in marine and lake sediments Pacific Northwest,Alaska,Great Lakes area
• Type A • 60-70% fatality • Found in CA, WA, CO, OR, NM • Type B • 25% fatality • Europe and eastern U.S. • Type E • Found in marine and lake sediments • Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Great Lakes area Botulism

Leprosy Mycobacterium leprae ·Acid-fast rod that grows best at30°C Grows in peripheral nerves and skin cells Transmission requires prolonged contact with an infected person Tuberculoid (neural)form:Loss of sensation in skin areas;positive lepromin test Lepromatous (progressive)form:Disfiguring nodules over body;negative lepromin test
• Mycobacterium leprae • Acid-fast rod that grows best at 30°C • Grows in peripheral nerves and skin cells • Transmission requires prolonged contact with an infected person • Tuberculoid (neural) form: Loss of sensation in skin areas; positive lepromin test • Lepromatous (progressive) form: Disfiguring nodules over body; negative lepromin test Leprosy

Poliomyelitis 。Poliovirus Transmitted by ingestion Initial symptoms:sore throat and nausea Viremia may occur;if persistent,virus can enter the CNS;destruction of motor cells and paralysis occurs in <1%of cases Prevention is by vaccination (enhanced-inactivated polio vaccine)
• Poliovirus • Transmitted by ingestion • Initial symptoms: sore throat and nausea • Viremia may occur; if persistent, virus can enter the CNS; destruction of motor cells and paralysis occurs in <1% of cases • Prevention is by vaccination (enhanced-inactivated polio vaccine) Poliomyelitis

Rabies virus (Rhabdovirus Transmitted by animal bite Virus multiplies in skeletal muscles,then brain cells causing encephalitis Initial symptoms may include muscle spasms of the mouth and pharynx and hydrophobia Furious rabies:animals are restless then highly excitable Paralytic rabies:animals seem unaware of surroundings Preexposure prophylaxis:Infection of human diploid cells vaccine Postexposure treatment:Vaccine immune globulin
• Transmitted by animal bite • Virus multiplies in skeletal muscles, then brain cells causing encephalitis • Initial symptoms may include muscle spasms of the mouth and pharynx and hydrophobia • Furious rabies: animals are restless then highly excitable • Paralytic rabies: animals seem unaware of surroundings • Preexposure prophylaxis: Infection of human diploid cells vaccine • Postexposure treatment: Vaccine + immune globulin Rabies virus (Rhabdovirus)
