  2. Foodborne disease • Disease caused by consumption of contaminated foods or beverages.  • Microbes, or pathogens contaminate foodscauses different foodborne infections.  • Poisonous chemicals, or other harmful substances also cause foodborne diseases if they are present in food.  http://www.cdc.gov/

  3. Outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 Infections • As of March 22, 2011, 14 persons infected with the outbreak strain of E. coli serotype O157:H7 have been reported • Age & sex: 1 to 70 years, with a median age of 13.5 years. 79% are male. • Among known 13 ill persons, hospitalized 3 or 23% , and none have hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). No death reported. Re: http://www.cdc.gov/

  4. Mode of infection • http://www.ecoliblog.com/2007/06/ Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections can spread through • Contaminated food, • Contaminated drinking water, • Contaminated swimming water, and • from toddler to toddler at a day care center Re: http://www.cdc.gov/

  5. E. coli Contamination • The most common source of E. coli contamination is cattle, spread through contact with contaminated feces, food and plant products. • Certain foods show very dangerous strains such as: Undercooked and raw hamburgers Salami Alfalfa sprouts Spinach Lettuce Milk (unpasteurized). Re.: http://www.cdc.gov/

  7. CDC urges health care professionals to: • Establish the causes in a patient's illnessand ways to prevent foodborne disease. • Stool cultures and testing for pathogens–eg. E. coliO157:H7 must be considered. • Reporting suspect cases to concern public health officials. • Encourage any one representation may be the important case of an outbreak. Re.: http://www.cdc.gov/

  8. Food can be made safer in the first place • Buy pasteurized milk (Now juice pasteurization is a recent important step forward that prevents E. coli O157:H7infections and many other diseases). • buy pasteurized fruit juices and ciders. Re.: http://www.cdc.gov/

  9. Sign -Symptom • The illness it causes is often a severe and bloody diarrhea • Painful abdominal cramps, without much fever.  • Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) can occur several weeks after the initial symptoms.  Re: http://www.cdc.gov/

  10. Diagnosis • E. coli O157 are found by culturing stool samples . • Infection is suspectedif patients has bloody diarrheausually. • Culturing for E. coli O157:H7 is relatively simple and not expensive. • Bacteria does colorless colony on sorbitol- MacConkey (SMAC) agar. • http://www.ama-assn.org/resources/doc/infectious-disease/2004_food_o157.pdf

  11. HUS-kidney failure due to E. coli O157:H7 infections • Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)- bloody diarrhea and can be severe if not treated promptly. • Most common age group are young children (4-5 years ). • It causes end stage renal failure in rare instances. • HUS: hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. • Announcements & Events, Food Poisoning Info

  12. Home treatment for diarrhea or bloody diarrhea caused by E. coli infection • Do not use nonprescription antibiotic • Take water frequently or a rehydration drink • Medical care if moderate dehydration • (dry mouth, dark brown urine with less volume ). http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/e-coli-infection-home-treatment

  13. Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)-blood test for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. • www.Announcements & Events, Food Poisoning Info

  15. Ginger extract blocked the toxin responsible for diarrhea Researchers stated in filed in archive Drugs, Vaccines and Therapeutics , Food and Agriculture on October 2, 2007 • “Ginger and its derivatives may be effective herbal supplements for the clinical treatment of enterotoxigenic E. coli diarrhea," • http://www.biotech-weblog.com/50226711/ginger_extract_may_treat_e_coli_diarrhea.php

  16. E coli ,a gram (-ve) rod and facultative anaerobe • According to CDC near about 70,000 people every year affected with this specific type of E. coli in United States. • The most common type of E. coli is E. coli O157:H7. (Annis , 2010). Re.: http://www.cdc.gov/
