salmonella carriers?

humans -asymptomatic carrierrs are potentially dangerous when unnoticed ~ 5% of patients clinically cured from typhoid remain carriers for months or even years -antibiotics are usually inefective on carriage

Foodborne diseases and Death..... three pathogens greatly associated with them:

• Three pathogens: Salmonella Listeria Toxoplasma

Gram-Negative Pathogens Associated with food

• Vibrio • Aeromonas • Shigella • Salmonella • Escherichia coli • Yersinia • Campylobacter

what are viruses

bundle of genetic material that work as pathogen. either DS or SS Virus units are call virions not cells in terms of virus (bacteriophages) it has two cycles either: -lytic cycle where it lyses (kills the bacteria) or - Lysogenic where it incorporates its DNA inside the bacteria's dna

Generation time? and common PREDOMINANT microorganisms

generation time is important and it means the time it takes for microorganisms to reproduce. Predominant microorganisms: 1- pseudomonas spp 1% 2- Acinetobacter and morexella - 11% 3- Brochothrix thermosphacta - 13% 4- Other - 75% ALSO Same conditions (12d incubation at 2°C) but anaerobically: then Prevalence of Lactobacillus and/or Leuconostoc

Calicivirus

***Pathogenesis ‐ the viruses infect and kill cells of the small intestinal mucosa*** -ex of calicivirus: Norovirus and Sapovirus • Norwalk‐like virus (NLV) • Sapporo‐like virus (SLV) -Infectious dose as low as 10‐100 virus particles -1-3day incubation period -they r small non-enveloped spherical viruses -SS RNA -first gastrointestinal virus reported to be foodborne (emerged as main foodborne virus) -SYMPTOMES: low grade fever, diarrhea, headache vomiting. [symptomes last 2-3days] -illness mild and self-limiting - Highly contagious! - High rate of transmission to contacts - Mode of transmission: INDERECTLY BY CONTAMINATED FOOD, WATER, OR ENVIRONMENT

Prion pathogenesis?

***• All pathological features are confined to the central nervous system*** • The prion protein accumulates selectively and abnormally in CNS nerve cells during the course of the disease. • the pathology does NOT include any signs of inflammation or fever. ***- immune system does not respond to the prion protein*** Human Prion diseases include both **inherited as well as transmissible** neurodegenerative disorders. • All diseases known to be of prion etiology, in animals and humans, are neurodegenerative diseases. In the human this includes: - Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD) - Fatal Familial Insomnia - Gerstmann‐Straussler syndrome - Kuru The most common form of Prion disease in animals is [Scrapie], a disease of sheep and goats

- Rotavirus -Enteric adenovirus -Astrovirus -- Two genera of enteric calicivirus: • Norwalk‐like virus (NLV) • Sapporo‐like virus (SLV)

Picornavirus

- SS virus -enterovirus, Hepatitis A, Poliovirus

salmonella spp.

- causes disease -effective does is as few as 15-20 cells and it depends upon age and health of host -strain differences among the members of the genus

prion disease symptoms:

- dementia initially characterized by loss of memory -progressive insomnia -diminish intellect and poor judgement Transmission: horizontal transmission transmission from one person to another, either directly or by fomites or by ingestion of contaminated meat.

common sources for spread of a salmonella infection?

- eggs and poultry -contaminated water, milk, milk products, beef, fruit, vegetables and dairy products -for infants: exposure to reptiles, riding in shopping cart next to poultry, or consuming liquid infant formula Fecal-oral transmission from person to person in areas with poor sanitation and contaminated or non chlorinated water is the route for enteric or typhoid fever

Enteric typhoid fever. What caused it and what are the steps?

- it is caused by S. Typhi (humans r the only reservoir) steps: 1- enter the human digestive tract 2-penetrate intestinal mucosa 3-Viable bacteria and LPS (endotoxin) is released into blood stream 4- septicemia is caused (remember septic shock)

important facts of prion

- prions are infectious self replicating protein that dont have either DNA OR RNA -Prions replicate by reshaping the normal protein PrP(c) [33-35] into PrP(sc) [27-30]

difference between food spoilage and food poisoning.

-food spoilage is the actual food that has become spoiled and it usually does not cause illness because consumer rejects it. - Food poisoning happens when the consumer ingested enough pathogens or toxins for him to become sick. In many cases food poisoning is caused by food that smells, taste, and looks NORMAL.

enteric typhoid fever

-incubation time: 5-21 days - transmission from contaminated water, or animal products, or contact with infected person/carrier A stepwise increase in temperature that plateaus in the second week at 39-40°C -symptoms: septicemia, high fever, headache, constipation, vomiting and diarrhea It may disseminate to lungs ,gallbladder ,kidneys,or CNS ****Untreated patients experience either complications or resolution**** by - Intestinal perforation occurs in 3-10% of patients - Other complications include endocarditis, pericarditis, pneumonitis, orchitis, and focal abscess the fourth wee

foodborne viruses

-strict intracellular (inside cell) -cannot replicate in food or water -the most common source of food source of viral gastroenteritis are due to viruses -foodborne viruses are transmitted interically (fecal -oral route)

how to detect foodborne viruses? How do we prevent it?

-to detect it we isolate virus from food with methods such as Electronmicroscopy(EM), immunoassay, PCR - probes/primers to specific portions of genome Prevention? Preventing contamination - Preventing human fecal contamination - Monitoring shell‐fish harvest waters - Good hygiene - High standards of food protection and sanitation procedures - Vaccination against Hepatitis A

BACTERIMIA

Post-Pasteurization contamination of milk

UHT-treated (151°C few sec) milk is an essentially commercially sterile product that can only contain viable spores of some thermophilic bacteria Bacillus cereus: produces lecithinase, which hydrolyzes phospholipids causing aggregation of fat globules and their adherence to the container surface - "bitty" defect "Sweet curdling": due to production of rennin-like enzymes causing curdling at higher pH than required for "acid curdling"

Gastroenteritis

incubation period: 8-48 hours symptomes: acute onset of fever and chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping - fever generally subsidizes in 72h -diarrhea 3-7 days and it can be bloody -fever 38 - 39C -Dehydration

types of prion disease vCJD: • rare and fatal human neurodegenerative condition • Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) prevention of these 2? statutory ban on the feeding of protein derived from ruminants (e.g. cattle, sheep and goats) to any ruminant

Shigella - epidemiology

• Common and causes recurrent problems in settings of poor hygiene - maysweepthroughentirecommunities endemic throughout worldwide - 164.7millioncases • InUS: - 300,000cases - number attributable to food is unknown, but given the low infectious dose, it is probably substantial ****• Children at high risk**** - toddlers aged 2to4 - total of 69% of all episodes and 61% children <5 years of age - spread in child-care settings

Pathogenecity & Virulence factors of shigella

• Entry into epithelial cells: - invasion plasmid antigens (Ipa) - surface presentation antigens (Spa) - membrane excretion proteins (Mxi) - virulence proteins (Vir) • Intracellular and intercellular spread - virulence proteins (Vir) • shiga toxin (Stx) • Neuroaminidase (produced by Shigella dysenteriae). It degrades neuraminic acid (also called sialic acid), an intracellular cement of the epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa

Normal Flora Vs Pathogens

• Human body is well-provided with bacteria • Contains more bacterial cells than human cells. Large intestine 10 % bacteria by weight, 10 11 cells per gram. Skin, mucosal membranes, gingival cervices have their own rich population of cells. • Normal flora: Does not cause diseases • Pathogens: colonizing the body and produce diseases.

Allergy

• Immunolgically based hypersensitivity due to exposure to a chemical (typically proteins). • Eg: milk, eggs, peanuts, soybeans, crustaceans. • Metabolic disorders: Genetically based disorder from the inability to metabolize a chemical that is toxic to certain individuals. • Eg: Lactose intolerance. Favism

how are prions come to be?

• In "infected" cells, PrP 27‐30 is produced from PrP 33‐35 • PrP 27‐30 triggers a series of reactions that produce more PrP 27‐30, i.e. PrP 27‐30 induces its own synthesis.......both PrP different in one single a.a residue "Asp 178" • This conformational change has three effects: 1. Induces the same permanent conformation change in PrP 33‐35 2. β‐sheet‐forming peptides aggregate to form amyloid fibrils 3. ***The amyloid fibrils kill thalamus neurons through apoptosis***

Opportunists Microorganism

• Lack specific genes necessary for colonization • Cannot produce diseases in healthy human • If general health declines- cause diseases. • If host defenses are compromised- cause infection.

Diseases transmitted by foods

• More than 200 known diseases • Causes include viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, metals and prions. • Symptoms range from mild gastroenteritis to life- threatening neurologic, hepatic and renal syndromes. • Many pathogens of greatest concern are E.coli 0157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Camplobacter jejuni and Cyclospora cayetanesis.

Drug-resistant Salmonella

• Multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains have increased • emerge in response to antimicrobial usage in food animals - Selective pressure - other factors

Types of intestinal infections: non invasive

• Non-invasive: attachment to epithelium of small intestine followed by enterotoxin production and diarrhea. Eg: Enterotoxigenic E. coli and Cholera

Host defense:

• Phagocytes: neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages attracted to invading bacteria by chemotaxis. • Intracellular killing: phagosome containing the engulfed bacteria fuses to a new vacule producing lysosome (Phagolysosome). • Non-resistance bacteria killed by hydrolytic enzymes (lysozyme, phospholipase and proteases). Superoxide and Hydrogen peroxide.

shiga toxin

• Produced by S. dysenteriae (a type of shigella) • 68 kDa multi-subunit protein • One A subunit (32 kDa) • Five B subunits (7.7 kDa) • Toxin is a protein that has enterotoxic, neurotoxic and cytotoxic activities. • ***Inhibits protein synthesis***** • Acts on lining of blood vessels • B subunits bind to Gb3 to enter cell • A subunit interacts with ribosomes to inactivate them

Site of infection for shigella

• Terminal ileum and colon • Penetrates the epithelium and multiplies within the epithelial cells, then the organisms spread laterally to adjacent cells, producing necrosis and death of parches of cells. This leads to ulcers which exude blood that is present in diarrheal stools.
