Study Notes
Gram-Negative Bacteria
- Significant species include Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gonococcus), responsible for gonorrhea, and Neisseria meningitidis (Meningococcus), which causes meningitis.
Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC)
- Associated with gastroenteritis and characterized by invasion of the large intestinal mucosa.
- Symptoms include fever, cramps, watery diarrhea, progressing to dysentery with scant, bloody stools.
- Commonly contracted from undercooked meat or contaminated hamburger, often referred to as "hamburger disease."
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
- The predominant agent causing UTIs, particularly in females, leading to chronic infections and potential complications such as premature delivery due to endotoxins.
- The microorganism can withstand freezing conditions and has potential transmission routes, including through ice cream.
- Pathogenesis involves bacterial multiplication in Peyer’s patches, entering the bloodstream via lymphatics, leading to a persistent bacteremia lasting up to one week.
