Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enteroinvasive bacteria, such as E. coli, can cause a disease similar to that caused by Shigella sp. These bacteria invade the epithelial cells of the intestinal wall and can cause bloody diarrhea, fever, and cramps. Enterotoxigenic bacteria (A), which produce toxins that cause diarrhea, do not typically cause the same symptoms as Shigella. Enteropathogenic bacteria (C) cause a different type of diarrhea, typically in children, and enterohemorrhagic bacteria (D), such as E. coli O157:H7 can cause bloody diarrhea and kidney damage, but do not invade the intestinal wall like Shigella and enteroinvasive bacteria do.
