- Day Care Center outbreak: Salmonellosis You just finished identifying the fecal contaminated food at the first restaurant when you learn there is an outbreak of Salmonella-food poisoning at a day care center, You sample food from the Center's refrigerator and are worried that the egg salad or chicken salad or peanut butter used to make sandwiches may be contaminated with Salmonella. You know Salmonella cannot ferment lactose and it can make hydrgoen sulfide. The strain associated with the outbreak cannot ferment sucrose but can ferment glucose. You isolate in pure culture bacteria from each of the suspect foods and inoculate each into TSI slants.

His shirt is sliced, and a sharp blade covered in mud slices through his upper arm. He attempts to control the bleeding and immediately seeks medical attention. After 3 days, he develops a fever and his arm becomes extremely swollen and painful. Pulling back the bandages, he finds that the wound has become blackened and is leaking bloody fluid. Microscopic analysis of the fluid reveals the presence of gram-positive bacilli. a. Discuss what condition the patient is suffering from and the likely causative agent of this infection. b. Explain how the patient contracted this pathogenic microbe and what virulence factors contributed to the pathogenesis seen at the wound site. c. In addition to antibiotics, the physician prescribes hyperbaric therapy. Describe what this treatment involves and how it could be therapeutic to this patient.arrow_forward
