EnterobacteriaceaeOften referred as enterics
General Characteristics • Gram(-) bacilli/coccobacilli• Facultative anaerobes• Glucose fermenters• Oxidase-negative• Reduce nitrates to nitrites
![Page 18: Handout PH201 Res_1 GIT & Food Poisoning](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042516/563dbafe550346aa9aa96358/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Virulence and Antigenic Factors
• Ability to colonize, adhere, produce various toxins and invade tissues
• Some possess plasmids that may mediate resistance to antibiotics
• Many enterics possess antigens that can be used to identify groups:– O antigen – somatic, heat-stable antigen located in the cell
wall– H antigen – flagellar, heat labile antigen– K antigen – capsular, heat-labile antigen
![Page 19: Handout PH201 Res_1 GIT & Food Poisoning](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042516/563dbafe550346aa9aa96358/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Antigenic Structure
• O antigen: Lipopolysaccharide
• K antigen: Capsular• H antigen: Flagellar

Shigella - natural reservoir & transmission
man only "reservoir"mostly young children
fecal to oral contactchildren to adults
transmitted by adult food handlersunwashed hands
![Page 23: Handout PH201 Res_1 GIT & Food Poisoning](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042516/563dbafe550346aa9aa96358/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ShigellaDiseases--ShigellosisSymptoms start 1-3 days after exposure
with profuse watery diarrhea. Disease can stop here.
Can progress to dysentery, which is an intestinal inflammation with abdominal pain, intense diarrhea, relatively scant stool with blood, mucous, and white blood cells (pus)
Symptoms usually resolve on their own in 1 weekRarely, an infected person becomes a carrier
![Page 24: Handout PH201 Res_1 GIT & Food Poisoning](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042516/563dbafe550346aa9aa96358/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ShigellaDiseases--Shigellosis
More severe form of this disease is produced by S. dysenteriae type1A. This species produces a toxin-called Shiga toxin
![Page 25: Handout PH201 Res_1 GIT & Food Poisoning](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042516/563dbafe550346aa9aa96358/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Shigella-Pathogenic factors
IpaIpa (invasive plasmid antigen) A,B,C, and D proteins are secreted into host cells intracellular growth of Shigella 1st, bacteria invade intestinal cells by endocytosis2nd, escape from endocytotic vesicles and multiply inside the cells.3rd, directly invade adjacent cells4th, host cells die and mucosal abscess forms

Shiga toxin
classic A/B toxinB subunit binds to cells and gets A inside the cell. A inhibits protein synthesis

Salmonella
Natural reservoir: not humans, but many other animals, including birds, reptiles, many others and vegetation. Eggs are also a risk.Transmission is by ingestion of contaminated food products, especially poultry or dairy products. Some transmission by person to person can occur in children, health care, or food preparation if proper sanitation is not observed.

Salmonella typhi & paratyphi
Natural reservoir: only infected humans
Transmission: person to person by the oral-fecal route and by ingestion of water or food contaminated with human feces.

Pathogenesis
V. cholerae is transmitted by contaminated water and food. There are no known animal reservoirs, nor animal or arthropod vectors. Outbreaks of V. cholerae infection have been associated with raw or raw or undercooked seafoodundercooked seafood harvested from contaminated waters.

Pathogenesis
Following ingestion, V. cholerae infects the small intestine. Adhesion factors are important for colonization & virulence. The organism is non-invasive, and causes disease through the action of an enterotoxin (cholera toxin) that causes the activation of adenylate cyclase by ADP-ribosylation. This initiates an outpouring of fluid into the intestine.

Treatment
Replacement of fluids & electrolytes is crucial in preventing shock, & does not require bacteriologic diagnosisAntibiotics such as doxycycline can shorten the duration of diarrhea and excretion of the organism
