KidsHealth Parents Infections The Clostridium group contains over 60 different species of bacteria. These bacteria are commonly found in soil everywhere in the world, and some species even live harmlessly in our intestines. When Clostridium bacteria cause human illness, it is usually because they produce a chemical that is toxic (poisonous) to our human bodies. Illnesses caused by the Clostridium group of bacteria discussed here are gas gangrene, Clostridium food poisoning, and pseudomembranous colitis. Gas Gangrene Gas gangrene is a serious wound infection that can follow a "dirty" wound (car accident, crush injury, farm accident, factory injury). Clostridium bacteria from the intestines or the soil contaminate the wound and produce toxins that destroy skin and muscles nearby. As the bacteria grow in the wound, they also manufacture "gas" as a by-product, and this gas can often be seen by doctors when they look at X-rays or scans of the wound area. Although at least seven different types of Clostridium bacteria may cause gas gangrene, about 80% of cases are due to

In this article What happens? Causes Prevention Treatment What happens? It's estimated there are over 9 million cases of gastro-enteritis each year in England. For an increasing number of people, it's due to food poisoning, something that's preventable. Gastro-enteritis describes symptoms affecting the bowel, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pain. Food poisoning is the type of gastro-enteritis caused by eating or drinking something contaminated with micro-organisms or germs, or by toxic substances produced by these germs. These illnesses are often accompanied by fever, muscle aches, shivering and feeling exhausted. These micro-organisms enter the body in one of two ways: In the food. The food isn't cooked thoroughly, so the micro-organisms aren't killed off. This is often the case with barbecued food, for example.

37. British Meat: The Recipe For Food Poisoning A report from the BMA said that all raw meat should be considered infected and a possible source of food poisoning. http://britishmeat.com/foodpois.html

BRITISH MEAT FOOD POISONING On January 12 1998, The British Medical Association warned in a report to Members of Parliament in London that all raw meat should be considered infected and a possible source of food poisoning. "The current state of food safety in Britain is such that all raw meat should be assumed to be contaminated with pathogenic organisms," the report said. The BMA report went on to record that the number of cases of food poisoning was at its highest ever in 1997. One million people infected by salmonella or E. Coli 0157 bacteria. 200 people died as a result. "The only safe approach for the food industry and general public is to treat all raw meat as infected and adopt universal precautions in handling and cooking raw meat," the report concluded.

C enter for F ood S A pplied N utrition Foodborne Pathogenic Microorganisms and Natural Toxins Handbook Staphylococcus aureus 1. Name of the Organism: Staphylococcus aureus S. aureus is a spherical bacterium (coccus) which on microscopic examination appears in pairs, short chains, or bunched, grape-like clusters. These organisms are Gram-positive. Some strains are capable of producing a highly heat-stable protein toxin that causes illness in humans. 2. Name of Acute Disease: Staphylococcal food poisoning (staphyloenterotoxicosis; staphyloenterotoxemia) is the name of the condition caused by the enterotoxins which some strains of S. aureus produce. 3. Nature of the Disease: The onset of symptoms in staphylococcal food poisoning is usually rapid and in many cases acute, depending on individual susceptibility to the toxin, the amount of contaminated food eaten, the amount of toxin in the food ingested, and the general health of the victim. The most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting, retching, abdominal cramping, and prostration. Some individuals may not always demonstrate all the symptoms associated with the illness. In more severe cases, headache, muscle cramping, and transient changes in blood pressure and pulse rate may occur. Recovery generally takes two days, However, it us not unusual for complete recovery to take three days and sometimes longer in severe cases. Infective dosea toxin dose of less than 1.0 microgram in contaminated food will produce symptoms of staphylococcal intoxication. This toxin level is reached when

KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems The leftovers in the fridge smelled a little weird, but you went ahead and ate them. You were so hungry, you didn't even heat them up. A couple of hours later, though, you started to feel sick. Powerful waves of pain rumbled through your stomach. It went away, but not for long. Then you even threw up That sounds like a case of food poisoning. No one put poison in your food, but bacteria probably grew in the food in the fridge. That bacteria made you sick. Food poisoning can be mild and last just a short time or can be more serious. Let's find out how to avoid it. What Is Food Poisoning? Food poisoning comes from eating foods that contain germs like bad bacteria or toxins, which are poisonous substances. Bacteria is all around us, so mild cases of food poisoning are common. You may have had mild food poisoning - with diarrhea and an upset stomach - but your mom or dad just called it a stomach bug or stomach virus. You might think the solution is to get rid of all the bacteria. But it isn't possible and you wouldn't want to do it, even if you could. Bacteria is all around us, including in food, and sometimes it can be good for you. It's confusing, but one thing is for sure - that bacteria in the rotten leftovers weren't good for you. But you can learn how to avoid those bad germs in food. Which Germs Are to Blame?
