ppl its easier if u group the diarrheas as
1) non-invasive eg secretory due to cholera, ETEC
2) inasive - locally eg shigella EIEC
3) systemic-salmonella
OR 1) bloody
2 )malabsorptive
3) watery, non bloody
and then go over their organisms

SALMONELLA
-transmission-- fecal oral, poultry, eggs, domestic animals,water
-all espicailly infants and kids affected.
-incubation period-- 8 to 48 hours
-virulence-- motile (H antigen), capsule (Vi antigen) protects from intracellular killing
-adsorb to epithelial cells in terminal ileum, penetrate to lamina propria of illiocecal region causing PMN response PG response which stimulates c AMP and watery diarrhea.
-diarrhea--watery( due to cholera like toxin) or les commonly bloody( due to invasion)
also causes-- fever, nausea, vomiting, abd. tenderness, osteomylitis in sickle cell patients, sepsis, chronic carrier state, liver or spleen enlargment.
duration-- 3 to 5 days.
treatment-- maintain hydration, antibiotics usually not requrid becuse they can prolong the carrier state. they are only given in severe invasive cases.
cipro, ceftriaxone or bactrim is used.

and the time frames for the cultures...
how do they vary with the week of illness?
btw in a post op pt, likelihood of being antibiotics is high so remember pseudomembranous colitis
C difficile organism.
cytotoxinassay dxtic in stool.
treatment of choice metronidazole. if not vancomycin
