Enterotoxigenic E. coli: I'm Coli's favorite cub!

Diffuse adhesive E. coli: I'm the most popular baby of Coli!

Enteroinvasive E. coli: I'm my favorite coli!

Enteropathogenic E. coli: I'm my favorite baby in Coli!

Enteroadhesive E. coli: I'm my favorite coli!

AIDS: Wow, there are so many cubs in the colon?

Flu: Isn't E. coli's favorite cub?

Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli reverts to the flu: We are all in the E. coli family.

Enterotoxigenic E. coli reverts to influenza: We are all pathogenic in the E. coli family.

Diffuse adhesive E. coli reverts to influenza: we are all pathogens of foodborne illness.

Enteroinvasive E. coli: +1

Enteropathogenic E. coli: +1

Enteroadhesive E. coli: +1

AIDS: A Foodborne Disease?

Enteroinvasive E. coli reverts to AIDS: All pathogens that enter the human body through ingestion, causing humans to suffer from infectious or toxic diseases, collectively referred to as foodborne diseases.

Enteropathogenic E. coli responds to AIDS: common food poisoning, intestinal infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, and zoonotic diseases, many of which are foodborne diseases.

Salmonella: I am the causative agent of foodborne illness.

Staphylococcus aureus: +1

Listeria monocytogenes: +1

Vibrio parahaemolyticus: +1

AIDS: Wait, don't rush to line up to brush up on your presence, I'm here to see the autobiography of enterohemorrhagic E. coli!

The flu: an autobiography! Ask for an autobiography!

Enterohagic E. coli: an autobiography!

I, enterohemorrhagic E. coli, am a member of the E. coli family.

Our E. coli family mainly lives in the large intestines of humans and animals, and we are the most important group of intestinal flora.

For a long time, humans thought that we were not pathogenic and belonged to the normal intestinal flora.

However, it was later discovered that some of our serotype brothers in the E. coli family are pathogenic.

At present, 6 brothers have been found to be pathogenic.

I'm one of them.

The rest are the 5 E. coli brothers who just praised me.

I usually like to live in the intestines of cows, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks and other animals.

Humans become infected when they eat these animals that have shelter for me, or when they come into contact with water bodies or pastures that are polluted by them.

After I entered the human intestine, it was incubated for 1 to 14 days before the human host developed symptoms.

I produce toxins in the human gut that invade the distal small intestine, colon, kidneys, lungs, spleen, and brain.

The toxins I produce inhibit the production of proteins by host cells, aggregate platelets, and cause damage to endothelial cells, causing intestinal mucosal edema, hemorrhage, and intestinal cell necrosis.

More severe cases cause kidney, spleen, and brain lesions.

Internal changes lead to external signs.

Mild cases do not show any unusual signs or have only mild diarrhea.

In severe cases, fever can cause hemorrhagic enteritis.

In more severe cases, complications may occur in people with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly and children.

Once complications occur, the consequences can be severe.

Complication 1: Renal hemolytic uremic syndrome manifested by acute renal failure, thrombocytopenia and microvascular dyshemolytic anemia, with a mortality rate of 10%-30%.

Complication 2: The symptoms are similar to nephrolysis uremic syndrome, with more obvious neurological symptoms, and the case fatality rate is as high as 70%.

AIDS reverts to hemorrhagic E. coli: Wow, your fatality rate is as high as 70%, which is close to the god of Ebola.

Hemorrhagic E. coli replies to AIDS: My 70% mortality rate is only in the case of complications, in general, my mortality rate is very low, even Xiao Ai is not as good as you.

AIDS replies to hemorrhagic E. coli: How can you discriminate against me?

Hemorrhagic E. coli reverts to AIDS: Absolutely not, the 70% mortality rate of my complications is thanks to you, Xiao Ai's ability to destroy the human immune system is known to the whole microbial community.
