Microbial Diseases of the Digestive System Chapter 25

Normal Microbial Flora of the Digestive System Mouth 1 ml saliva = millions of bacteria Stomach and small intestine Few organisms due to HCl and rapid movement of food Large intestine 100 billion bacteria per gram of feces 40 % of fecal mass is microbial cell material Lactobacillus, Bacteriodes, Enterobacter, E. coli. Proteus spp.

Bacterial Diseases of Lower G.I. Infections Pathogens enters G.I. Tract and multiples Bacteria may penetrate the intestinal mucosa or may pass to other systemic organs Delay in appearance of symptoms while pathogen increases in number or invades tissue Usually a fever Intoxications Ingestion of a preformed toxin Sudden onset of symptoms ( few hours ) Fever not always present

Bacterial Diseases of Lower G.I. Diarrhea – infections and intoxications Blood or mucus - dysentery Abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting Defense mechanism to rid body of harmful material Gastroenteritis Inflammation of stomach or intestinal mucosa Diarrhea – developing countries 1 child in 10 dies of diarrhea before age of 5 Most common causes – Rotaviruses, E.coli and Shigella

Campylobacter Gastroenteritis Campylobacter jejuni Gram (-), microaerophilic spiral Most common cause of food borne illness in the U.S. Found in the intestines of many animals, especially poultry Almost all retail chicken is contaminated 60 % of cattle is contaminated 2 million cases per year

Escherichia Gastroenteritis 1. ETEC - enterotoxigenic E. coli Not invasive Enterotoxin – watery diarrhea 2. EIEC - enteroinvasive E. coli Invades intestinal wall Inflammation, fever & Shigella-like dysentery 3. EHEC - enterhemorrhagic E. coli E. coli O157: H7 Found in intestines of animals, especially cattle Hemorrhagic colitis – inflammation of colon with bleeding HUS – Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Blood in urine leading to kidney failure (kidneys effected by toxin)

Shigellosis (Bacillary Dysentery) Bacterial infection - Shigella sp. Gram (-), facultative, rods Shigella sonnei Shigella dysenteriae Shigella flexneri Shigella boydii Incubation period: 12 hours to 2 weeks Usually fever Mild case of Shigellosis Traveler’s Diarrhea Montezuma’s Revenge Green Apple Two Step Shigella found only in G.I. Tracts of humans, apes and monkeys

Toxin Shiga toxin - Kiyoshi Shiga Unusually virulent Bacteria invade intestinal mucosa – produce toxin Severe diarrhea with blood in stool (dysentery) Toxin inhibits Protein Synthesis Cells lining G.I. tract are shed Up to 20 bowels movements a day

20,000 – 30,000 cases per year in U.S. 5 – 15 deaths Shigella dysenteriae – more severe - Mortality Rate = 20 %

Salmonellosis (Salmonella Gastroenteritis) Bacterial Infection – Salmonella sp. Salmonella Gram (-), facultative, non-spore forming rods Found in G.I. Tract of humans and many animals All are considered pathogenic Taxonomy Use serotype rather than species Over 2000 serotypes (50 common in U.S.) Salmonella arizonae Salmonella brazil Salmonella atlanta Salmonella pakistan Salmonella berlin Salmonella california

Salmonellosis Incubation time 12 – 36 hours Bacteria invade the intestinal mucosa and multiply May pass thru mucosa into lymphatic or circulatory system and become systemic Fever, abdominal pain, cramps and diarrhea

Salmonellosis 1 billion Salmonella per gram of feces Mortality rate < 1 % Higher in infants and elderly Recovery in a few days Some may shed bacteria in feces for 6 months

Salmonellosis Contamination Undercooked or Raw Eggs Meats, poultry, eggs, pet reptiles (turtles) Undercooked or Raw Eggs Hollandaise sauce Cookie batter Caesar salads “Sunny side up” fried eggs

Typhoid Fever Salmonella typhi - most virulent Salmonella Only found in humans (feces) Systemic disease Spreads thru body, found in blood, urine, feces Mortality rate 1-2 %, used to be 10 % Was common before days of proper sewage treatment Still common in Third World countries

Typhoid Mary Mary Mallon – cook in N.Y. carrier Responsible for several outbreaks and many deaths Refused to leave her job 1 – 3 % become chronic carriers Microbe lives in gallbladder and is shed in feces 1900’s Ended up isolated in a city hospital on Island in the East River off the Bronx shore

Cholera Vibrio cholerae - Gram (-) curved rod Endemic in Asia and India Cholera toxin Secretion of Cl- leads to H2O loss and diarrhea 12 – 20 liters of fluid per day ( 3 – 5 gallons)

Food Poisoning from Seafood Vibrio parahaemolytica Found in salt H2O estuaries Associated with poisoning from Raw oysters Shell fish Shrimp crabs

Staphylococcal Food Poisoning (Staphylococcal intoxication) Ingesting an enterotoxin by Staph. aureus Staphylococci High resistance to heat Resistant to drying out Resistant to high osmotic pressures Resistant to high salt conc. Found in nasal passages and hands Contaminate food

* 1 million bacteria per gram of food to produce enough enterotoxin to cause illness

Most reliable method of preventing Staphylococcal intoxication: Adequate refrigeration during storage to prevent toxin production Toxin Triggers vomiting reflex center of brain Abdominal cramps & diarrhea Recovery usually complete in 24 hours. Mortality rate – 0 % in healthy people

Peptic Ulcers Helicobacter pylori – microaerophilic spiral 30% - 50 % of normal pop. are infected, but only 15% of those develop ulcers urease H2O + urea ammonia + CO2 Urea Breath Test Swallow radio-active urea If positive, patient will exhale radio-active CO2 within 30 minutes

Hepatitis Inflammation of the liver Viral Hepatitis - 2nd most frequently reported infectious disease in the U.S. 5 different viruses Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Hepatitis C Hepatitis D Hepatitis E

Hepatitis A (Infectious Hepatitis) HAV ss RNA no envelope Enters via oral route, multiplies in G.I. Tract spreads to liver Virus is shed in feces HAV is resistant to normal chlorine disinfectants used for water HAV can survive several days on surfaces (cutting boards) 50% of infections are subclinical Symptoms Nausea diarrhea abdominal discomfort Fever chills jaundice Recovery results in lifelong Immunity No chronic Hepatitis A

Hepatitis B (Serum Hepatitis) HBV ds DNA envelope Transmitted by blood, semen, saliva, breast milk 50% cases asymptomatic Symptoms Loss of appetite fever joint pains jaundice 10% become chronic carriers of HBV Chronic carriers are 200 times more likely to develop liver cancer HBV Vaccination required in Illinois Schools Recommended for high risk individuals (health care workers)

Hepatitis C (Non A, Non B Hepatitis) HCV ss RNA envelope
