Enteric pathogen bacteria Enterobacteriaceae Gram negative Exotoxin enterotoxin Endotoxin in cell walls(LPS)
Antigens 3 major groups of antigens: Somatic O Lipopolysacharides Capsular K antigens / Vi antigen Flagellar H proteins
Virulence Factors Enterotoxin Capsule Antigenic phase variation Exotoxin production Adhesion factors Intracellular survival and multiplication protecting from antibiotic&immune reaction
Antimicrobial resistance exposure to antibiotic Resistance to serum killing capsule
Endotoxin. Lipid A component of LPS Release upon cell death & lysis Endotoxin Mediated Toxicity: Fever Leukopenia Activation of complement Thrombocytopenia
- Disseminated Intravascular coagulation - Decreased peripheral circulation - Shock - Death Exotoxin production Enterotoxin Shiga&shiga like toxin cytotoxic,enterotoxic Hemolysins
Desease due to Enterobacteriaceae Intestinal Infections Pathogenic processesinvasive 2. Extra intestinal Infections Enteric commensals opportunistic pathogens
Enteritis : non bloody diarrhea Septicemia Enteric fever Asymptomatic carriage/chronic carriage Shigellosis: pus&bloody in the stoolmucosal ulceration.
Pathogenesis Bacteremia- Septicemia Ingestion of bacteriasmall intestine mesenteric lymph node bacteremia RES system(multiplication)septicemia and BileGall bladder:. Cholecystitis . Carriage stage Inflamation&ulceration of Peyer’s patches
2. Infection is limited to the mucosa and sub mucosa of the intestine
