COMMON CAUSES OF DIARRHEA- BACTERIA
– Vibrio cholera– Shigella– Escherichia coli– Salmonella– Campylobacter jejuni– Yersinia enterocolitica– Staphylococcus– Vibrio parahemolyticus– Clostridium difficile

TRANSMISSION
• Most of the diarrheal agents are transmitted by the fecal-oral route
• Some viruses (such as rotavirus) can be transmitted through air
• Nosocommial transmission is possible• Shigella (the bacteria causing dysentery) is
mainly transmitted person-to-person

TYPES OF VIBRIO CHOLERA
• Two major biotypes of Vibrio cholera that cause diarrhea are:ClassicalElTor
• Two common serotypes of Vibrio cholera that cause diarrhea are:InabaOgawa
![Page 12: diare](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/5695d2111a28ab9b0298f633/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Vibrio cholerae O139
• Vibrio cholerae in O-group 139 was first isolated in 1992 and by 1993 had been found throughout the Indian subcontinent. This epidemic expansion probably resulted from a single source after a lateral gene transfer (LGT) event that changed the serotype of an epidemic V. cholerae O1 El Tor strain to O139.

Vibrio vulnificus• The organism Vibrio vulnificus causes wound infections,
gastroenteritis or a serious syndrome known as "primary septicema." • V. vulnificus infections are either transmitted to humans through open
wounds in contact with seawater or through consumption of certain improperly cooked or raw shellfish.
• This bacterium has been isolated from water, sediment, plankton and shellfish (oysters, clams and crabs) located in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Coast as far north as Cape Cod and the entire U.S. West Coast.
• Cases of illness have also been associated with brackish lakes in New Mexico and Oklahoma.

• Rehydration– replace the loss of fluid and electrolytes
• Antibiotics– according to the type of pathogens
• Start food as soon as possible

withdrawn recently from the market.
