What factors are related to the onset of acute enteritis

(1) Bacterial and toxin infections are most commonly caused by Salmonella and halophilic bacteria (Vibrio parahaemolyticus). Toxins are most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, and viruses can also be found. There are often cases of collective outbreaks or multiple outbreaks in families. The disease can be caused by eating contaminated poultry, livestock meat, or fish; eating seafood such as crabs and snails where halophilic bacteria grow; or eating leftovers or rice contaminated by Staphylococcus aureus. In my country, the incidence rate is higher in summer and autumn, with no gender difference. The general incubation period is 12 to 36 hours.

Salmonella is the main pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis, among which Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella choleraesuis, Salmonella Gallinarum and Salmonella duck are the more common. The causes of acute enteritis are bacterial and toxin infections, with Salmonella and halophilic bacteria (Vibrio parahaemolyticus) being the most common. Staphylococcus aureus is a common toxin, and viruses can also be seen. There are often cases of collective outbreaks or multiple outbreaks in families. The disease can be caused by eating contaminated poultry, livestock meat, or fish; eating seafood such as crabs and snails where halophilic bacteria grow; or eating leftovers or rice contaminated by Staphylococcus aureus.
