Produce several hemolytic-protolytic enzymes, toxins, fluorescent pigments-pyocyanin / Burn-Blue Green Pus.. can overcome host defenses.. Wounds,, External Otitis Media, Septicemia, Pneumonia, UTI, Nosocomial Infection, Mutlidrug Resistance.. Intrinsic-R to many antibiotics..Common Nosocomial/ opportunistic Pathogen.
5-Salmonella group • Gram-ve bacilli.. Lactose-ve, urease-ve, Motile, Facultative Anaerobes.. Endotoxin/LPS, Cytotoxin.. common in Nature.. Humans, most domestic & wild Animals, Birds, Reptiles ..Develop of specific antibodies during invasive infection against their O/H- Antigens.. • Salmonellosis: • 1-Gastroenteritis/ Food-poisoning Salmonella: S. enterica/ enteritidis.. Numerous Serotypes.. Common Farm Chickens, Pets.. Contamination Chicken Meat-Eggs, Water.. Fecal-Oral Infection.. Incub. 8-24 h.. Mild-Severe Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever.. Mostly Self-Limited in Adults. More severe infection in children.. Septicemia-Meningitis in Immuno-compromised Pat.

Typhoidal Salmonella 2- Typhoidal Salmonella:Human Enteric Fever.. Salmonella enterica /subtype Typhi & Paratyhi A, B, C., Fecal-Oral route, Fecal water contamination or drinks/ Fresh Food.. Intestine..Blood, Meningis,Urinary tract.. Incubation Period 1-3 Weeks, high Fever up to 42, Diarrhea, constipation, Septicemia, Meningitis, Hepatospenomegaly, Intestinal Perforation.. Healthy Carriers.. Mostly females in Gallbladder.. Less Intestine.. Repeat chronic infection.. Stool Excretion..single cases and community water outbreaks. • Lab Diagnosis:Culture Feces, blood, Urine, CSF, Selective Media.. Serological Widel Test for detection of specific antibodies against O & H antigens ( Titer > 160 ).. Antibiotic, Human vaccine available.
6-Shigella group • Shigella species.. Gram-ve bacilli, cause Only human disease.. Endo/Enterotoxins.. Susceptible to Dryness, Acid, Low-High Tempt.Fecal-Oral infection.. Water, fresh Vegetations,Common serotypes, S. Sonnei, Sh.boydii Sh. flexneriPurulent-Bloody-Diarrhea..Fever abdominal pain..Recovery 2-4 days with treatment.. No chronic healthy Carriers. • S.dysenteriae.. Enterotoxin (Neurocytotoxin), Severe Necrosis, high Fever, Severe Purulent-Bloody-Diarrhea & Abdominal Cramps, CNS affection.. Rare Septicemia. • Lab Diagnosis:Feces Culture.. S-S Agar, Hecton–Enteric Agar.. Recommended Antibiotic Treatment, Control Sanitation & hygiene.. water, fresh Food.
7-Vibrio cholerae • Gram-veVibrios.. Oxidase-positive & Motile, AerobicAlkaline Medium (pH >8-9)..Killed in low acidity.. Survive in saline water for long time.. Endemic In India/Bangladish.. Highlyinfectious.. EpidemicHuman Outbreaks.. Water, Fresh Green leaves & Food • V. cholera-01: Type V. cholera El-Tor.. Only Human.. Fecal-Oral Infection, multiply small intestine..release Cholera-toxin.. Heat-labile enterotoxin, Incub. 8-48 h.. Severe Watery Diarrhea, Dehydration, Shock.. Death. Within 24 hrs..No invasive infection. • Lab Diagnosis: Feces Culture.. Selective TCBS agar. • Treatment: Replacement Fluids & Electrolytes.. Antibiotic.. Public Heath Measurements.. Human Vaccine recommended for Refuges & Army.

8-Brucella species • Brucellosis/Malta Fever..Gram-vecoccobacilli..Non-motile,Intracellular, Endotoxins.. Primarily a Pathogens of Animals (Zoonosis), Localized Infection in reproductive Organs.. Sepsis, Abortions. • Br. abortus(Cattel), Br. melitensis(Goats/Sheep). • Human Brucellosis/Malt Fever : Mostly Br. melitensis.. Rare Other species in Jordan. • Transmitted to Humans..
