What pathogen cause typhus?
Typhoid fever, also known as enteric fever, is a potentially fatal multisystemic illness caused primarily by Salmonella enterica, subspecies enterica serovar typhiand, to a lesser extent, related serovars paratyphi A, B, and C.
What is enteric fever?
It is a form of diarrhoea that is of protracted duration and is associated with sign of systemic disease such as high fever, rash and respiratory or neurologic symptoms. Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella paratyphe are the most common cause.
What is the difference between salmonella typhi and salmonella typhimurium?
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. (Also called Salmonella Typhi or abbreviated to S. Typhi)This bacterium is the causative agent of typhoid fever. Although typhoid fever is not widespread in the United States, it is very common in under-developed countries, and causes a serious, often fatal disease. The symptoms of typhoid fever include nausea, vomiting, fever and death. Unlike the other Salmonelladiscussed below, S. Typhi can only infect humans, and no other host has been identified. The main source of S. Typhi infection is from swallowing infected water. Food may also be contaminated with S. Typhi, if it is washed or irrigated with contaminated water.Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Also called Salmonella Typhimurium or abbreviated to S.Typhimurium)Until recently the most common cause of food poisoning by Salmonella species was due to S. Typhimurium. As its name suggests, it causes a typhoid-like disease in mice. In humans S. Typhimurium does not cause as severe disease as S.Typhi, and is not normally fatal. The disease is characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting and nausea, and generally lasts up to 7 days. Unfortunately, in immunocompromized people, that is the elderly, young, or people with depressed immune systems, Salmonella infections are often fatal if they are not treated with antibiotics.
Can you die from salmonella disease?
Food poisoning, mostly. But S. Typhi (Salmonella enterica Typhi) is what causes Typhoid Fever.
Who are the most common victims of gangrene?
The most common victims of gangrene are people who are diabetic.
What is bad about salmonella?
Generally it depends on which type of Salmonella spp. is asked.Salmonella typhi is the most pathogenic one causing typhoid fever. The patient has an increasing fever after about a week after ingestion. Symptoms are headache, diarrhea, myalgia, anorexia and later to Typhus( delirium) and further complications such as meningitis, hepatosplenomegaly, myocarditis and an interstital pneumonia.The most severe part is a perforation of the GI tract and a mostly deadly peritonitis.This count for S. typhi, other Salmonella strains cause much less severe gastroenteritis and are self limited.Further references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoid_fever
What are some examples of different pathogens?
Pathogenic bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis - tuberculosis (most common) Shigella - food borne Campylobacter - food borne Salmonella - food borne Clostridium tetani - causes tetanus (Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium ) Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi - typhoid fever Corynebacterium diphtheriae - diphtheria Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum - syphilis Mycobacterium leprae - leprosy
What type of organism is salmonella typhi?
It's a gram-negative coccobacilli, an enteric bacteria, produces endotoxin, and sometimes, if not properly treated, may cause septicemia. Patients may complain of fever/rigors with abdominal cramping. One drug of choice for patients with symptoms is ciprofloxacillin. For more severe cases (such as in septicemia), intravenous therapy would be indicated with third-generation cephalosporins, such as ceftriaxone.
