Food poisoning Bacteria & Virus


1.      Bacillus cereus
Food Poisoning

Ingestion of food contaminated with Bacillus cereus or toxins produced by this organism is responsible for foodborne illness. Bacillus cereus produces enterotoxins. It causes food poisoning of two types: diarrheal type, which is characterized by abdominal pain and watery diarrhea; and emetic type which is manifested by profuse vomiting.
2.      Campylobacter jejuni (but also C. fetus, Campylobacter coli)
3.      Clostridium perfringens
4.      Clostridium botulinum
Botulism is caused by a neurotoxin from Clostridium botulinum
5.      E.coli 0157:H7 (Enterohemorrhagic E. coli)
6.      Listeria monocytogenes
7.      Salmonella Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis
8.      Shigella spp
Shigellosis is also known as bacillary dysentery. Most cases are caused by Shigella sonnei. However, S. dysenteriae, S. flexneri and S. boydii can also cause foodborne related illnesses.
9.      Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus makes seven different toxins that are frequently responsible for food poisoning.
10.  Vibrio cholerae
Vibrio choleare produces cholera toxin. Which is an enterotoxin, responsible for profuse watery diarrhea (also termed as rice watery stools).
11.  Yersinia enterocolitica
Parasites
12.  Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasmosis is caused by an intracellular protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii, which can infect all species of mammals, including humans
13.  Cryptosporidium
14.  Cyclospora
Virus
15.  Adenovirus
16.  Rotavirus
17.  Calciviruses  (Better known as Norwalk virus)
18.  Norwalk-like virus (or Norovirus)
