Study Notes
Bacteria Causing Gastroenteritis
-
Salmonella: Can trigger inflammatory processes and hypersecretion of fluids.
- Persists inside macrophages' phagosomes.
- Crosses epithelial cell membranes to enter the bloodstream and lymphatic system.
-
Vibrio cholerae: Motile cells travel through intestinal mucous layer, attaching to epithelial cells and releasing cholera enterotoxin.
-
Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides: Associated with marine environments and raw seafood. Can cause gastroenteritis.
Sample Collection
- Blood and rectal swab samples are used for diagnosis.
Microscopic Observation
-
Vibrio cholerae: Helical-shaped, non-spore-forming, Gram-negative bacteria.
-
Clostridium perfringens: Gram-positive bacteria with long, irregular cells.
- Forms sub-terminal spores, appearing as drumstick or spindle-shaped.
