References Shigellosis, although commonly regarded as waterborne, is also a foodborne disease restricted primarily to higher primates, including humans. It is usually spread among humans by food handlers with poor personal hygiene. Foods most often incriminated in the transmission have been potato salad, shellfish, raw vegetables, and Mexican dishes. The genus Shigella consists of four species: S. dysenteriae (subgroup A), S. flexneri (subgroup B), S. boydii (subgroup C), and S. sonnei (subgroup D). Shigella organisms may be very difficult to distinguish biochemically from Escherichia coli. Brenner ( ) considers Shigella organisms and E. coli to be a single species, based on DNA homology. Nonetheless, Shigella species are Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, nonsporulating, nonmotile rods in the family Enterobacteriaceae . They do not decarboxylate lysine or ferment lactose within 2 days. They utilize glucose and other carbohydrates, producing acid but not gas. However, because of their affinity to

Most people who are infected with Shigella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps starting a day or two after they are exposed to the bacterium. The diarrhea is often bloody. Shigellosis usually resolves in 5 to 7 days. In some persons, especially young children and the elderly, the diarrhea can be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. A severe infection with high fever may also be associated with seizures in children less than 2 years old. Some persons who are infected may have no symptoms at all, but may still pass the Shigella bacteria to others.

References Causative Agent Shigella are gram-negative, nonmotile, nonsporeforming, rod-shaped bacteria that are comprised of four species or serogroups which are further divided into serotypes and subtypes. Shigellosis is caused when virulent Shigella organisms attach to and penetrate epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa. After invasion, they multiply intracellularly, and spread to contiguous epithelial cells resulting in tissue destruction. Some strains produce enterotoxin and Shiga toxin. Routes of Exposure Fecal-oral transmission through direct and indirect person-to-person contact is the main route of exposure. Ingesting contaminated foods and beverages can also spread infection.

Key words Drug resistance - dysentery - shigellae - shigellosis Continue article Advertisement Infectious diseases kill about 11 million children each year and 99 per cent of these deaths occur in the developing countries. Notably, of the 1 1 million deaths, 4 million die within the first year of their life1. Acute diarrhoeal diseases rank second amongst all deaths due to infectious diseases accounting for 3.1 million deaths in under 5 children; 80 per cent of these deaths occur in children below 2 yr of age. Shigellosis is an important cause of diarrhoeal deaths. It has been reported that no less than 140 million cases of shigellosis occur worldwide with 600,000 deaths annually; 60 per cent of such deaths are seen in under 5 children2. In this review, attempts have been made to highlight the molecular epidemiology, epidemic and pandemic potential, current case management strategies including drug resistance problem and preventive aspects of shigellosis.

LGV LGV is short for Lymphogranuloma venereum; it is a form of the common sexually transmitted infection Chlamydia LGV is very common in Africa, Asia, South America and parts of the Caribbean. However, with the introduction of antibiotics in the 1940s, LGV became very rare in the UK and Europe. However, outbreaks of LGV have recently been reported in gay men in the Netherlands, France, Germany, the US and Sweden. In the UK, measures have been introduced to detect and monitor any outbreak. By early February 2005, 25 cases have been identified in England (mostly in London), all involving gay men, most of whom were HIV-positive. Transmission of LGV Although the current outbreak of LGV in Europe has involved gay men (most of whom have been HIV-positive), LGV can affect both men and women regardless of their HIV status.

Each year, about 30 cases are fatal. Most cases of foodborne illness can be prevented by using safe food handling practices and using a food thermometer to check that your food is cooked to a safe internal temperature!
