Bacterial Diseases of the Lower Digestive
System
Symptoms usually include diarrhea, gastroenteritis, and
dysentery.
Are treated with fluid and electrolyte replacement.
Infection is caused by growth of a pathogen:
Incubation is from 12 hours to 2 weeks.
Intoxication caused by ingestion of toxin:
Symptoms appear 1 to 48 hours after ingestion

Typhoid Fever
Salmonella typhi
Bacteria is spread throughout body in phagocytes.
1 to 3% recovered patients become carriers, harboring
Salmonella in their gallbladder.

Cholera
Vibrio cholerae serotypes that produce cholera toxin.
Toxin causes host cells to secrete Cl–, HCO–, and
water.
