Listeriosis

Listeriosis a serious infection usually caused by eating food

contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes
(Schlech 1983) is an important public health problem in United
States(Silk BJ 2012). The disease primarily affects older adults,
pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune
systems (Painter J& slutsker 2007). However, rarely people
without these risk factors can also be affected. The risk may be
reduced by following a few simple recommendations.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas infection is caused by strains of bacteria found
widely in the environment; the most commen type causing
infections in humans is called pseudomomas aeruginosa. It is
infections usually occur in people in hospitals, infections of the
blood, pneumonia, and infections following surgery can lead to
severe illness and death in these people. It can be spread on
hands of healthcare workers or by equipment that gets
contaminated and is not propyl cleaned. It can causes also mild
illnesses especially after exposure to water. Ear infections,
especially in children, and more generalized skin rashes (/healthy
water / swimming/rwi/illnesses/ hot-tub-rash.html) may occur
after exposure to inadequately swimming pools and eye infections
have be reported too.

E.coli
E.coli bacteria normally live in the intestines of people
and animals. Most E.coli is harmless and actually is an
important part of a healthy human tract. However, some
E.coli is pathogenic, meaning they can cause illness.
These types cause diarrhea can be transmitted through
contaminated water or food. So you might hear about

E.coli being found in drinking water which are not

themselves harmful, but indicate the water is
contaminated. People of any age can become infected.
Very young children and elderly are more likely to
develop severe illness and hemolytic uremic syndrome
then others, but even healthy older children and young
adults can become seriously ill. The symptoms of shiga
toxin-producing E.coli infections very for each person but
often include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often
bloody), and vomiting. If there is fever, it usually is not
very high (less than 101 F). Most people get better within
5-7 days. The major source for human illness is cattle.
Enterococcus faecalis
Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive, its cause lifethreatening infections in humans, especially in
thenosocomial (hospital) environment, where the
naturally high levels of antibiotic resistance found in
E.faecalis contribute to its pathogenicity.( Ryan KJ,Ray CG
