  2. Coliform bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coliform_bacteria

    Escherichia species normally inhabit the human intestine and those of other warm-blooded animals, and are the most commonly responsible for causing disease in humans. [7] Escherichia coli specifically is the most common organism seen in the human intestine and are known to cause a variety of diseases in humans. [9]

  3. Fecal coliform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_coliform

    Reduction of fecal coliform in wastewater may require the use of chlorine and other disinfectant chemicals, or UV disinfection treatment. Such materials may kill the fecal coliform and disease bacteria. They also kill bacteria essential to the proper balance of the aquatic environment, endangering the survival of species dependent on those ...

    Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a serotype of the bacterial species Escherichia coli and is one of the Shiga-like toxin–producing types of E. coli.It is a cause of disease, typically foodborne illness, through consumption of contaminated and raw food, including raw milk and undercooked ground beef.

  5. Pathogenic Escherichia coli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogenic_Escherichia_coli

    E. coli and related bacteria constitute about 0.1% of gut flora, [4] and fecal–oral transmission is the major route through which pathogenic strains of the bacterium cause disease. Cells are able to survive outside the body for only a limited amount of time, which makes them ideal indicator organisms to test environmental samples for fecal ...

    These fish and amphibians are infected with the larvae of a fluke, Nanophyetus salmincola through an intermediate host, the snail Juga plicifera (Oxytrema is an obsolete genus). The larvae attach to the intestine of the dog and the rickettsial bacteria are released, causing severe gastrointestinal disease and systemic infection.

  8. Fish diseases and parasites - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_diseases_and_parasites

    Like humans and other animals, fish suffer from diseases and parasites. Fish defences against disease are specific and non-specific. Fish defences against disease are specific and non-specific. Non-specific defences include skin and scales, as well as the mucus layer secreted by the epidermis that traps microorganisms and inhibits their growth.

  9. Salmonella enterica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonella_enterica

    Raw chicken eggs and goose eggs can harbor S. enterica, initially in the egg whites, although most eggs are not infected. As the egg ages at room temperature, the yolk membrane begins to break down and S. enterica can spread into the yolk. Refrigeration and freezing do not kill all the bacteria, but substantially slow or halt their growth.
