Study Notes
Food Poisoning Causes
- Ingestion of food containing preformed exotoxins can cause food poisoning, which can be produced by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Clostridium difficile.
Food Poisoning Pathogens
- Consumption of undercooked chicken can result in infection with Campylobacter jejuni.
- Blood and mucus in the stool is a characteristic of Bacillary dysentery.
Bacterial Characteristics
- Salmonella is characterized by being lactose negative, grouped by O, H, and Vi antigens, and does not always produce H2S.
- Enterohemorrhagic E. coli is more likely to be carried by humans than Helicobacter pylori, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
