  • Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an enterohemorrhagic strain of the bacterium Escherichia coli and a cause of illness through food.[1] Infection may lead to hemorrhagic diarrhea, and to kidney failure.
  • E. coli serotype O157:H7 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. The "O" in the name refers to the cell wall (somatic) antigen number, whereas the "H" refers to the flagella antigen.

    "According to the World Health Organization, 2.5 billion people around the globe are without access to sanitary toilets, which results in the spread of deadly diseases. Every year, 1.5 million people-mostly those under the age of five-die from diarrhea."

    This is the infrastructure side of many of the microbes (and more importantly the diseases associated with them) we learned about.

    A vaccine to combat the microorganism C. bolteae may be the solution for alleviating digestion symptoms often associated with autism. Children with autism have been known to have higher levels of this organism than that of a healthy child. It is assumed that toxins produced by the C. bolteae may be associated with severe symptoms that autistic children typically have, such as diarrhea. I found it ironic that many people still think that vaccines cause autism, and here is a vaccine to assist in alleviating the digestive symptoms associated with it.

    The rotavirus vaccination was introduced in 2007 to most of Mexico. By 2010 most of the children in Mexico were vaccinated. This study wanted to see the correlation between the effectiveness of the vaccination compared to different socioeconomic statuses. They compared different regions in Mexico and found that throughout the country the Diarrhea Mortality rate caused by the rotavirus significantly decreased in all areas.

  • Still, he added, taking them doesn’t seem harmful. “It’s a relatively low-cost treatment worth trying if you have a condition like Crohn’s disease,” he said. “But for most conditions, the potential benefit is uncertain.”
  • There is growing evidence for the role of the appendix in restoring a healthful balance of microbes in the body.
  • The challenge in taking probiotics is to get the microbes past the stomach, where most are killed by gastric acid, said Robert Dunn, a biologist at North Carolina State University. Once in the intestines, they must compete effectively with the microbes already present.

    I always wondered how the probiotics we get from yogurt etc. were supposed to make it past the stomach. If the stomach does indeed neutralize probiotics, does eating yogurt to prevent antibiotic associated diarrhea (for instance) really help?
