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.

Culture Media

  • Thayer-Martin agar is a culture medium used to cultivate Neisseria gonorrhoeae, but MNYC medium is not.
