Salmonella is a bacteria people get after eating raw foods. This bacteria can cause diseases and make people sick, or even kill them. Salmonella only causes noticeable symptoms for people who have a weakened digestive system. The bacteria causes the gastrointestinal system malfunction once it reaches the stomach and intestines. The structure of Salmonella makes it hard to be killed by the body. Salmonella works by moving around in the stomach and intestines, which spreads it everywhere. Salmonella affects the gastrointestinal system the most. The gastrointestinal system includes the mouth, esophagus, the stomach, and large and small intestines. Salmonella gets into your body by being on the food you eat, and sheds off the food into your gastrointestinal system. According to Virtual Medical Centre, “The first place your food goes is in your mouth and down your esophagus to the stomach, which is where the food gets propelled by the intestines.” …show more content…
The most common foods infected with salmonella include raw meat, poultry, seafood, raw eggs, and fruits and vegetables. These contaminated foods cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, fever, chills, headaches, and blood in the stool (Mayo Clinic). According to the Mayo Clinic, “These symptoms may last 4 to 7 days, but it will take several months for your bowels to return back to normal after the contamination.” These symptoms are caused by diseases like gastroenteritis, which is when the salmonella reaches your stomach and intestines (Gale Science in Context). Other foods that can be contaminated are foods that are touched by people who didn't wash their hands after using the toilet, handle raw meat or poultry, touch reptiles or birds, changing a diaper, or cleaning up pet feces. These can contaminate the food with feces. The person that does these tasks should wash their hands, which would prevent contaminating the food with
Obsession can be many things depending on how it is taken in view. Most of the time obsession can become very dangerous and end with devastating consequences. It can be brought about by many variables. Either way it can lead to a man’s downfall or just cause him great pain. In Poe’s “The Black Cat” the man’s obsession became the cat that he killed then tried to replace. Hawthorne’s “The Birth Mark” the obsession was with the small hand print shaped birth mark on his wife’s face. When a man so desires something he would do anything to gain and be able to have his way he will not stop until it is so. The men from both Poe’s “The Black Cat” and Hawthorne’s “The Birth Mark” were obsessed leading to the desire to rid themselves of the thing they
Salmonella is a bacterial disease that occurs in the intestines, the signs and symptoms can be; fever, or other illnesses such as diarrhea and abdominal cramps. People typically get salmonella from contaminated foods, which seems to occur frequently from poultry and eggs (Nordqvist, 2016). This is just a basic look at salmonella though, next we need to look at the epidemiologic triad (host, agent, and environment) and see how each plays a role in a salmonella outbreak.
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a pathogen commonly associated with localized intestinal infection in humans. For its survival and propagation as a facultative intracellular pathogen, this Gram-negative bacterium has developed a variety of ways to manipulate host cell processes (Malik-Kale et al. 2011). Besides phagocytic internalization (by, e.g., macrophages, neutrophils, or dendritic cells), Salmonella infection is characterized by the bacterial-induced uptake of the pathogen into non-phagocytic enterocytes of intestinal epithelium (Perrett & Zhou 2013).
What is corruption in the church? An example of corruption in the church would be the Canterbury Tales. Corruption is dishonesty or the act of fraud. This is displayed by Chaucer with the satire he used in his tales to make fun or ridicule characters. To show their true colors and this exposed the horrible things and people that made up the church which showed how truly godly the church is.
E.coli affects and attacks the digestive system. The digestive system is where the body takes each mouthful of food and turns it into a mushy paste, this paste helps maintain the body's homeostasis. ( Science Explorer 44). Homeostasis is the body’s tendency to keep a stable environment. The Digestive System breaks down the food into nutrients, nutrients are the substances in the food that provide energy throughout your whole body. Carbohydrates are also a major source
Salmonella is a gram-negative bacillus that causes inflammation of the GI tract and in some cases, if the immune response is not sufficiently powerful and treatment is not administered, can become systemic and cause even more serious conditions throughout the body. After ingestion, these bacteria cause infection by invading the epithelial cells of the small intestine and macrophages. Though there are more than two thousand different subspecies of Salmonella, few of them are able to cause serious conditions in humans—for most, the disease resolves itself in a matter of days. Those who are most affected by Salmonella infection are infants, the elderly, and people with compromised immune
World War One was one of the most deadly conflicts in all human history. It began in 1914 and ended in 1918. In those four years, almost 17 million people died and over 20 million were wounded. What were the underlying causes of WWI? Three of these causes were militarism, nationalism, and the loose alliances that had been formed prior to the war.
You can get typhoid from the salmonella typhi bacteria in food or water, contact with an infected person, or poor sanitation. The bacteria enters your body, travels into the intestines and the blood, then to the lymph nodes, gallbladder, liver, spleen, and other parts of your body. Sometimes the disease can be spread through the feces and urine of infected people. Raw foods or foods that have not been cooked or handled properly can also cause typhoid fever.
Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) is a harmful gram-negative bacterium, which like all other bacteria grows in colonies. Bacteria can be grouped as cocci, bacillus or spirillum. Salmonella bacteria are rod shaped (bacillus) which can function both with and without oxygen. Each single bacterium has DNA, a cytoplasm, cell membrane to control substances entering and leaving the cell and a cell wall to hold the structure together. In particular Salmonella has all of the above as well as flagella to help with movement and fimbriae which aids the bacterium to adhere to their environment such as the small intestine. Salmonella can be found in animals or humans and is transferred through ingestion of contaminated foods. Salmonella enterica are very tiny, and cannot be seen by the human eye, on a pin head alone there are 100,000 bacteria. Humans can become sick from ingesting as few as 20 bacteria. Salmonella enterica bacteria are approximately 4 micrometres long and 1 micrometre in diameter (A micrometre is one thousand times smaller than a millimetre). These tiny organisms can travel into the human through foods, drinks, pens, cigarettes etc. virtually anything that touches the mouth.
Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, and vomiting anywhere from 6-72 hours after being infected (Foodsafety.gov, n.d.). Because there are many things that can cause those symptoms, diagnosing Salmonella would depend on laboratory tests that identifies it in the stool of an individual that is infected (CDC, 2013). Further testing can help determine the specific type once Salmonella has been confirmed.
The food borne illness I choose is salmonella. Salmonella live in the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals, including birds. Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Contaminated foods usually look and smell normal. Contaminated foods are often of animal origin, such as beef, poultry, milk, or eggs, but any food, including vegetables, may become contaminated. Thorough cooking kills Salmonella. Food may also become contaminated by the hands of an infected food handler who did not wash hands with soap after using the bathroom.
Salmonellosis is an illness of variable severity usually characterized by diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and sometimes vomiting. Asymptomatic infections may occur and the organism may cause extraintestinal infections. The disease may have multiple manifestations and can progress from gastroenteritis into systemic disease. Most patients develop symptoms 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days and most patients recover without treatment. In some patients the Salmonella infection may spread from the intestine to the blood stream (septicemia or bacteremia) and to the other parts of the body. It may produce pneumonia, septic arthritis, pyelonephritis, meningitis and endocarditis. It may become localized in
The enclosed report contains my analysis of the Salmonella poisoning issue in the recent lot of seafood-stuffed pasta shells. Based on the potential risk to human life, minimization of financial losses and preservation of Mike’s reputation, I recommend that you initiate a recall of the entire lot of pasta
Studying Salmonella is vital in understanding how SafD operates and possible clinical problems posed to individuals, due to the different strains of the bacterium that have been previously discovered. Although Salmonella has been identified and classified into different classifications, it has undergone multiple changes and the main nomenclature system is yet to be established (Chiu, Lin-Hui, 2014). The genus which Salmonella belongs to is known as the Enterobacteriaceae family (Chu and Su, 2004; Farmer, 1995). Salmonella is a gram negative rod shaped
Salmonella enterica: is a member of the Enterobacteriacecae family, a rod shape Gram-negative bacterium. After passage through the gastric acid barrier, S. enterica binds tightly to specific receptors of the epithelial cells in small intestine. The receptor interaction activates a cellular response results in transfer of bacterial effector proteins into the epithelial cell, following by uptake of bacterial cell by endocytosis. Invasion of epithelial cells induce an inflammatory response that increases the fluid secretion of epithelial cells, causing diarrhea. [2]
