Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 4CAE
Three to 5 days after eating Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant, 112 people developed fever and gastroenteritis. All the food had been consumed except for five “doggie” bags. Bacterial analysis of the mixed contents of the bags (containing roast turkey, giblet gravy, and mashed potatoes) showed the same bacterium that was isolated from the patients. The gravy had been prepared from giblets of 43 turkeys that had been refrigerated for 3 days prior to preparation. The uncooked giblets were ground in a blender and added to a thickened hot stock mixture. The gravy was not reboiled and was stored at room temperature throughout Thanksgiving Day. What was the source of the illness? What was the most likely etiologic agent? Was this an infection or an intoxication?

- Write a 1-2 paragraph case study that accurately depicts the disease caused by Clostridium Botulinum. If your organism is transmitted in a specific location or under certain circumstances be sure your patient has been to those locations or engaged in those behaviors that would lead to transmission Have the appropriate timeline in terms of incubation and length of illness. Cover the important symptoms. You do not have to give all possible symptoms, just the typical one. Provide some important laboratory test results without stating the name of your microorganism.

- A 27-year old white female presented at the walking clinic of her local physician on August 15. On physical exam, the patient had a fever of 38.5C. She appeared fatigued, had tender joints, and complained of a headache, a stiff neck and a backache. The physician noticed a circular "rash" about 5 inches in diameter, with a bright red leading edge and a dim center in the form of a "bull's eye." The physician noted an irregular heartbeat. The patient complained of lack of ability to concentrate. The patient gave the following history: She is a graduate student in the wildlife program at the university in town. She was in the field for three weeks in Wisconsin during the months of May and June. She tracks small mammals in the field and studies their behavior. It had been a warm, wet spring and she complained of a large number of biting flies, mosquitoes and ticks in the area. She felt well until about two weeks after returning to her home. Since that time, many of her symptoms had…arrow_forwardWhy does Helicobacter pylori cause ulceractions in the lining of the Stomach? 1)The microbes secrete a toxin that prevents the host from detecting invasion of the microbe and thus allows it to thrive in the stomach and damage the host cells. 2)After invasion of the microbe in the cells lining the stomach, they are no longer able to produce mucous to protect the host cells from acid erosion 3)The microbe produces an enzyme that causes the cell to produce potent digestive enzymes that erode the stomach lining. 4)Once the microbe has entered the stomach, it releases digestive enzymes that degrade the mucous secreting cells.arrow_forwardWhat was the common treatment for cholera beginning in the 1830s?
