Salmonella• Animals main reservoir of human
disease:– Gastroenteritis– Typhoid (Enteric) fever– Septicemia– Asymptomatic carriage
• Transmission:– Ingest contaminated food (poultry, eggs,
dairy products)– Direct fecal-oral spread in children
Salmonella Genera• Describe >2500 serotypes • DNA homology studies:
– One Genus-species - Salmonella enterica– Seven subspecies (1, 2 ,3a ,3b ,4 ,5, and 6)– Subgroup 1 causes most human infections
• Clinically Salmonella isolates often still reported as serotypes by Kauffman-White classification:– Based on O (cell) and H (flagella) antigens– H antigens occur in two phases (antigenic
variation)– Polyvalent antisera used, followed by group
specific antisera (A, B, C1, C2, D, and E)– Salmonella Typhi (capitalize, not italics to
designate Genus-Serotype) - also has capsular Vi antigen
Salmonella: Biochemical Test ID
• TSI = K/A + gas, H2S– Salmonella Typhi small amount of H2S, no
gas– Salmonella Paratyphi no H2S
• LIA = K/K (+)lysine DC, +H2S– Salmonella Paratyphi = K/A
• Urea(–)• PA(-)• Citrate(±)• Indole(-)
Salmonella: Infection• MO found in all animals – poultry,
reptiles, livestock, rodents, domestic animals, birds, and humans
• Highly adapted strict human pathogen:– Salmonella Typhi– Salmonella Paratyphi
• Peak incidence of infections in warm months via ingesting contaminated food at outdoor social gatherings
• ~50,000 cases reported annually in U.S
Salmonella: Infection of GI Tract
• Ingest contaminated food• Infect GI cells• Blood (systemic infection, target
organs)• RES (Reticuloendothelial System) –
macrophages, liver, spleen, bone marrow
Infection of GI Tract• MO adheres to intestinal mucosa epithelium • Invasion of enterocytes, M cells (microfold cells
of Peyer patches)• Induced endocytosis by bacteria effector
proteins• Salmonella multiplies within phagosome,
released; may be phagocytosed by macrophages
Salmonella: Gastroenteritis
• Salmonellosis most common form of gastroenteritis
• Due to Salmonella Enteritidis in U.S.• Symptoms 6-48 hours after
consumption contaminated food:– Nausea, vomiting, non-bloody diarrhea– Also common with elevated temperature,
abdominal cramps, myalgia, headache• Persist 2-7 days, spontaneous
resolution• Supportive care, no antibiotics required• Incidence greatest children <5 yrs. and
adults >60 yrs.
Gastroenteritis • MOs multiply, induce strong
inflammatory response• Causes disease symptoms (fever,
diarrhea, abdominal cramps)• Inflammatory response prevents spread
beyond GI tract, eventually kills MOs
Salmonella: Typhoid ( Enteric) Fever
• Typhoid fever - Salmonella Typhi • Paratyphoid fever (milder) - Salmonella
Paratyphi • 10-14 day incubation period following
ingestion of contaminated food• Fever, headache, myalgia, malaise,
anorexia• Persist 1 week, followed by GI symptoms
(GI→blood→GI)• Mortality ~20% if untreated
Typhoid Fever• MO disseminate before high enough
levels to stimulate inflammatory response
• Initial symptoms low fever, constipation• MO move via lymphatics & bloodstream
to liver & spleen; phagocytosis & multiplication occurs
• MO re-enter bloodstream, disseminate to all organs; fever, headaches, myalgia, GI problems
• Rose spots (erythema, maculopapular lesions) on abdomen
• Osteomyelitis, cystitis, gall bladder infections may occur
Salmonella: Septicemia• Most frequently:
– Salmonella Typhimurium– Salmonella Choleraesuis– Salmonella Paratyphi
• At risk: children, elderly, AIDS patients• Infection presents like Gram(-)
bacteremia• 10% develop osteomyelitis,
endocarditis, arthritis
Salmonella: Asymptomatic Infection
• Salmonella Typhi• Salmonella Paratyphi • MO’s from enteric fever maintained by
human carriage• ~1-5% infected patients chronic carrier
>1 year• Reservoir in gall bladder
Lab Diagnosis: Typhoid Fever
• Blood cultures positive during first week, after second week
• Stool culture, sometimes urine culture positive after second week
• Widal Test (serology): – Antibodies against Salmonella Typhi– Look for 4-fold rise in titer between acute
and convalescent stage (~one month)
Salmonella: Prevention• Gastroenteritis:
– Public Health education– Improved hygiene, especially food handlers– Safe preparation of poultry & eggs,
refrigerate food– Antibiotics not recommended, may prolong
disease• Enteric fevers:
– Treat with fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin), chloramphenicol ( decrease mortality to <2%)
– Live oral vaccine (attenuated Salmonella Typhi) for travelers to endeminc countries
– Clean water supply– ID, treat chronic carriers
Shigella: Gastroenteritis
• Shigellosis (Bacillary dysentery)• ~150 million cases annually worldwide;
450,000 in U.S.• Humans only reservoir, transmitted
person-to-person by fecal-oral route• Outbreaks in communities where
sanitary standards, level of hygiene low• Common in daycare centers, nurseries,
custodial institutions
Shigella Genera
• Four species by O antigen serotype:– S. dysenteriae (Group A) – most severe; Shiga
toxin– S. flexneri (Group B) – developing countries– S. boydii (Group C) – not commonly isolated– S. sonnei (Group D) – developed countries;
U.S.
• By DNA analysis, now shown to be biogroup within E. coli
Shigella: Biochemical Test ID
• TSI = K/A with NO gas• LIA = K/A (-)lysine DC• Urea (–)• Motility(–)• S. sonnei may show delayed lactose
fermentation
Shigella: Virulence Factors - Enterotoxin
• Shiga toxin - S. dysenteriae• Smaller amounts by S. flexneri, S.
sonnei • Inhibit protein synthesis by
inactivating 60S ribosomal subunit• Role in ulceration intestinal mucosa
Shigella: Virulence Factors - Cell Wall Proteins
• Expressed at body temperature• Upon contact with intestinal
mucosa M cells (microfold cells, Peyer’s patches), induce phagocytosis of bacteria into vacuoles
• Shigella destroys vacuoles, escape into cytoplasm
• Spread laterally (actin filaments propel MO through cytoplasm) to epithelial cells; multiply
• Do not usually disseminate beyond epithelium
Shigella: M Cell Attachment
Shigella: M Cell Penetration
Shigella: Epithelial Cell (CCEC) Invasion
Shigellosis• Fecal-oral route, primarily contaminated
hands • Infective dose very low (100-200 MO)• Incubation 1-7 days• Fever, cramping, abdominal pain, watery
diarrhea for 1-3 days (due to exotoxin)• Followed by frequent, scant stools with
blood, mucous, pus (invasion of intestinal mucosa)
• Rare for MO to disseminate, generally self-limited but may lead to death
• Severity of disease depends upon species:– S. dysenteriae most pathogenic– Followed by S. flexneri, S. sonnei, S. boydii
Shigella: Treatment and Prevention
• Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (SXT) or fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin) - shortens course of disease & fecal shedding; recommended to reduce spread to contacts
• Resistant strains becoming increasingly common, so antibiotic sensitivity testing required
• Infection control by proper hand washing and disposal of soiled diapers/linens
• Public Health monitoring for clean water supply
Comparison of Invasion: Salmonella versus Shigella
Yersinia Genera• Infections are zoonotic, humans
accidental host• Three species important pathogens in
humans:– Yersinia pestis – plague (bubonic or
pneumonic)– Yersinia enterocolitica – gastroenteritis,
transfusion-related sepsis– Yersinia pseudotuberculosis – mainly disease
of animals, uncommon human gastroenteritis
Yersinia: Infection• Y. pestis:
– Mammalian reservoir: rats, squirrels, rabbits, domestic animals
– Humans infected by:• Fleas• Direct contact with infected animal tissue• Aerosols from patient with pulmonary
disease
• Y. enterocolitica:– Ingest contaminated food products– Infusion of contaminated blood
products (growth in blood stored at 4°C)
Yersinia pestis: Lab ID
• Non-motile - 37°C & 25°C
• Bipolar staining• Slow growth, small
colonies at 37°C (grows better 25°C)
• TSI = K/A • Urea(-) • ODC(-)• Guinea pig LD50<10• Direct fluorescent
antibody test• New DNA probe test
Y. pestis: Bubonic Plague • By flea bite infected animal (rat,
squirrel, rabbit) to human• Endemic in local So Cal mountains • MO travel to nearest lymph node,
engulfed by macrophage • High fever, buboe (enlarged lymph
node), MO proliferate, stimulate inflammatory response
• MO multiply in lymph node, leak into bloodstream
• Lysis of bacteria releases LPS causing septic shock, DIC
• Subcutaneous hemorrhage, disease named Black Death in Middle Ages
• High mortality rate (30-40%) if untreated
Pneumonic Plague
• Eventually bacteria reach lungs, engulfed by lung macrophages, cause pneumonic plague
• Transmit directly to others via aerosol • Direct inhalation produces disease that
progress more rapidly• Mortality rate close to 100%
Y. pestis: Treatment and Prevention
• Streptomycin, tetracycline, SXT• Control by reducing rodent population• Vaccine (formalin killed bacteria) for
individuals at risk; no longer available
Yersinia enterocolitica: Lab ID
• Non-motile at 37°C • Motile at 25°C• Bipolar staining• Slow growth, small colonies at 37°C
(grows better at 25°C)• TSI = A/A (sucrose fermentation) • Urea(+)• ODC(+)
CIN Agar• Isolation of Y. enterocolitica
from stool specimen (also Aeromonas, Plesiomonas)
• Selective - antimicrobials (Cefsulodin-Irgasan-Novobiocin), bile, crystal violet inhibit NF
• Differential - mannitol, neutral red
• Incubate room temperature• After 48 hours at RT, Y.
enterocolitica produce typical pink colonies (mannitol fermentation) with bulls-eye appearance
Y. enterocolitica: Gastroenteritis
• Ingestion of contaminated food or water• Common cause of human disease
(mostly in children) involving fever, abdominal pain, watery diarrhea
• Intestinal epithelium invasion of M cells, transcytosed through M cells, released at basal surface
• Bacteria penetrate into underlying lymphoid tissue, multiply both inside and outside host cells
Gastroenteritis• Inflammatory response to MO
responsible for extreme pain (~acute appendicitis)
• Fever due to LPS endotoxin• Sometimes drain into adjacent
mesenteric lymph nodes, causing lymphadenitis
• Reactive arthritis may occur in some people; thought cross reacting T cells or antibodies that attack joint
• Usually self-limited• If treatment indicated, susceptible to
broad-spectrum cephalosporins
