E. COLI BACTERIA
Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some serotypes can cause serious food poisoning in humans, and are occasionally responsible for product recalls.

Where is E. Coli Found?

E. coli can be found in the intestinal tracts of some mammals. Meat can become contaminated during slaughter or while it is being ground (ground beef). E. coli can also be found in raw milk, unchlorinated or contaminated water, unpasteurized apple juice or cider, and uncooked cut fruits and vegetables.

SYMPTOMS Most people with the infection will have: Severe stomach cramps and stomach tenderness. Diarrhea, watery at first, but often becoming very bloody. Nausea and vomiting.

TREATMENT
Careful regulation of fluids and essential minerals. Dialysis, to filter waste products from your blood. Some people with kidney failure caused by E. coli infection require dialysis. Blood transfusion, to treat anemia by giving you additional oxygen-rich red blood cells.

SYMPTOMS
STREPTOCOCC US PYOGENES
is a spherical, Gram-positive bacterium that is the cause of Group A streptococcal infections.

Where is it Found?
Streptococcus is a bacterium often found in the throat and on the skin.

Most people with the infection will have: Severe stomach cramps and stomach tenderness. Diarrhea, watery at first, but often becoming very bloody. Nausea and vomiting.

TREATMENT
Penicillin

SYMPTOMS
STAPHYLOCOC CUS AUREUS meaning the "golden grapecluster berry," and also known as "golden staph" and Oro staphira) is a facultative anaerobic Grampositive coccal bacterium

Where is it Found?
S. aureus colonizes mainly the nasal passages, but it may be found regularly in most other anatomical locales, including the skin, oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract

localized collection of pus, known as an abscess, boil, or furuncle, depending upon the exact type of lesion that is present. The affected area may be red, swollen, and painful. Drainage or pus is common. high fevers chills low blood pressure

TREATMENT
Minor skin infections are usually treated with an antibiotic ointment such as a nonprescription triple-antibiotic mixture. In some cases, oral antibiotics may be given for skin infections. Additionally, if abscesses are present, they are surgically drained. More serious and life-threatening infections are treated with intravenous antibiotics. The choice of antibiotic depends on the susceptibility of the particular staphylococcal strain as determined by culture results in the laboratory. Some Staph strains, such as MRSA (see next section), are resistant to many antibiotics.

STAPHYLOCOCC US EPIDERMIDIS is one of thirtythree known species belonging to the genus Staphylococcus.

Staphylococci epidermis

Where is it Found?
It typically lives on the human skin and mucosa and the most common infections on catheters and implants

SYMPTOMS severe infections immunocompr omised and can trigger lifethreatening septicaemia and meningitis infections where persons have had some a surgical procedure or an in-dwelling device fitted such as a catheters, cardiac devices and prosthetic or vascular grafts due to its

TREATMENT
As S. epidermidis is part of the human normal flora, it has developed resistance to many common antibiotics such as methicillin, novobiocin, clindamycin, and benzyl penicillin. As a result, vancomycin or rifampin is used to treat an infection. (#4 WWW)

CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that produces several toxins. The best known are its neurotoxins, subdivided in types AG, that cause the flaccid muscular paralysis seen in botulism. It is also the main paralytic agent in Botox.

SYMPTOMS
double vision blurred vision, drooping eyelids slurred speech difficulty swallowing, dry mouth muscle weakness. Constipation Infants with botulism appear lethargic weak, and floppy feed poorly constipated have a weak cry and poor muscle tone.

TREATMENT Another heptavalent antitoxin (effective against seven neurotoxins: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) The trivalent antitoxin (effective against three neurotoxins: A, B, and E

CLOSTRIDIUM TETANI
is a rod-shaped, anaerobic bacterium of the genus Clostridium. Like other Clostridium species, it is Grampositive, and its appearance on a gram stain resembles tennis rackets or drumsticks

Clostidium tetani

Where is it found?
C. tetani are everywhere and are found in soil, dust, animal intestines, and animal feces (including humans).

SYMPTOMS Spasms and stiffness in your jaw muscles Stiffness of your neck muscles Difficulty swallowing Stiffness of your abdominal muscles Painful body spasms, lasting for several minutes, typically triggered by minor occurrences, such as a draft, loud noise, physical touch or light Other signs and symptoms may include: Fever Sweating Elevated blood pressure Rapid heart rate

TREATMENT Antibiotics penicillin G tetanus booster shot antitoxin Wound cleansing when manipulated, may release more toxin Supportive measures Pain medicine as needed Sedatives Ventilator support IV rehydration

VIBRIO CHOLERA is a gram negative, facultative,commashaped bacterium with a polar flagellum that causes cholera in humans

SYMPTOMS watery diarrhea vomiting leg cramps

Where is it Found? Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine

TREATMENT

oral rehydration salts intravenous administration of fluids

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gramnegative, nonmotile, encapsulated, lactose fermenting, facultative anaerobic, rod shaped bacterium

SYMPTOMS Most people with the infection will have: Severe stomach cramps and stomach tenderness. Diarrhea, watery at first, but often becoming very bloody. Nausea and vomiting.

TREATMENT Careful regulation of fluids and essential minerals. Dialysis, to filter waste products from your blood. Some people with kidney failure caused by E. coli infection require dialysis. Blood transfusion, to treat anemia by giving you additional oxygenrich red blood cells.
