Clostridium botulinum Diseases
spore-forming
- Food-borne Botulism: FLACCID PARALYSIS, cardiac & respiratory failure, nausea, double or blurred vision
- Infant Botulism
- Wound Botulism: wounds are infected with spores
Clostridium tetani Diseases
spore-forming
Tetanus/Lockjaw: prevents muscle relaxation,RIGID PARALYSIS, asphyxiation (from muscle tensing)
Clostridium perfringens
spore-forming
- Gas Gangrene/Myonecrosis: Bacteria gather in an injury or surgical wound that has no blood supply.
The bacterial infection produces toxins that release gas and cause tissue death (antemortem) - Tissue Gas: Postmortem form of tissue gas; can spread through instruments
- Food Poisoning
Bacillus anthracis Diseases
spore-forming
- Skin Anthrax/Skin Cutaneous Infection: Non-pus Lesions called ESCHARS leave a ring of small blisters that surround a dark center
- Pulmonary Anthrax/ Wool-sorter’s Disease/Inhalation Anthrax
- Typhoidal Anthrax/ Ingestion Anthrax
Bordatella pertussis Diseases

Stage 1: Incubation Stage: no outward symptoms
Stage 2: Catarrhal Stage: Common cold-like symptoms
Stage 3:Paroxysmal Stage: Spasmodic or convulsive coughing; ciliary escalator in lungs stop; peak of the disease
Stage 4: Convalescent Stage: Recovery
Yersinia Pestis Diseases
- Bubonic Plague/Black Death: Infection of the lymphatic system; Lesions called BUBOS form
- Septicemic Plague: Infection in the blood stream
- Pneumonic Plague
Both the septicemic and pneumonic plagues can be secondary infections from the bubonic plague or be spread on their own
Klebsiella pneumoniae Diseases
- Lobar Pneumonia
- Hospital Acquired/ Nosocomial Pneumonia
- Gastroenteritis

Escherichia coli Diseases
- Gastroenteritis: Inflammation of the GI tract Causes the most cases of gastroenteritis
- Traveler’s Diarrhea
- Infantile Diarrhea
- Hemorrhagic Colitis/ Hemorrhagic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
- Bacillary Dysentery of the Alimentary canal
- Urinary Tract Infections
- Infections of the bladder, kidneys, ureters, and urethra
Proteus mirabilis Diseases
- Secondary infection from burn wounds; bacterial colonies smell like “BURNED CHOCOLATE”
- Gastroenteritis: inflammation of the GI tract
- Urinary Tract Infections
- Can also cause ear and wound infections, especially in burn victims
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Diseases
- Burn Wound Infections
- Urinary Tract Infections
- Gastroenteritis
- Pneumonia
- Ear Infections
Produces blue-green pus
Vibrio cholerae dieases
- Rice Water Stool: whitish color to feces
- Asiatic cholera
Treponema pallidum Diseases
-Exclusively found in humans
- Syphilis
- Acquired Syphilis: Received through direct sexual contact
- Congenital Syphilis: Infected pregnant woman passes infection to unborn child
- 4 Stages of Syphilis
- Primary Syphilis: Chancre sore form (small hard ulcers)
- Secondary Syphillis: Skin rashes form on the hands and feet
- Latent/Hidden: Symptoms disappear
- Tertiary Syphilis: Gummas form (rubber-like lesions); other severe symptoms including dementia, madness, tumors occur. People usually do not get to this stage because of modern medicine
Borrelia burgdorferi Diseases
Lyme Disease/ Lyme Borreliosis: Bull’s eye rash
