T02 Enteropathogenic Bacterial Infections Flashcards
inflammation of what two organs lead to infectious enterocolitis
small intestine, colon
Etiology of entercolitis varies depending on
age, nutrition, host immune status, environmental influences
T/F RAN (Rota, Adeno,Noro) are the only viral agents of infectious enterocolitis
T
pathogenesis: Adhesion and Local proliferation (2) produce exotoxins
ETEC, V cholera
pathogenesis: Adhesion and Mucosal Invasion (4) SECS
S enterica, E histolytica, C jejuni, Shigella
Highjacking host pathways (usually Salmonella, Shigella)
M cells
Diarrhea ins increase in stool __, __, __
mass, frequency, fluidity
Dysentery
bloody, small volume diarrhea caused by SES
Bristol Stool Chart
Visual aid in evaluating diarrhea in patients
Diarrhea ISOTONIC stool that PERSISTS with fasting; due to INFECTION
Secretory Diarrhea
Diarrhea 50 mOsm, concentrated than plasma; RELIEVED with FASTING; due to excessive osmotic forces by Luminal salts (Ex. disaccharidase deficiency)
Osmotic Diarrhea
Steatorrhea, SUBSIDES with fasting, Problems w nutrient absorption
Malabsorptive Diarrhea
Purulent/Bloody stools due to inflammatory diseases; PERSISTS with fasting;
Exudative Diarrhea
non-invasive, within lumen Gram neg comma shaped bacterium with distinct flagella sa SHELLFISH, AND PLANKTON
V chloera
Virulence factors of Cholera
Cholera toxin, Flagella, Hemagglutinin
A subunit in Cholera is released to ER by
Retrograde transport
Why does the reeased fragment of A subunit go back to configuration
to prevent degradation
A subunit binds to this to activate Adenylate Cyclase (doggy lol ARF)
ADP-ribosylation factor
Activation of adenylate cyclase results to increased
Intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate
Accumulations of which lead to osmotic driving froce that draws water into lumen
sodium, chloride, bicarbonate
Most common pathogen in developed country transmitted thru poultry, milk, other foods; also EnRa (Erythema nodusum, Reactive arthritis)
Campylobacter jejuni
