(Shigella don’t produce colonies)

Ethiology: S.
Typhi, Paratyphi P, B, typhimurium.
Pathogenic dose: 105
– 108
bacteria
Pathogenisis: Bacteria enter through epithelium of jejunum reach submucosa phagocytosed by PMN,
Macrophages survive within the cells.
reach the mesenteric L.
N.
and multiply Enter blood stream
Transient bacteremia Reach gall bladder, liver, spleen, bone marrow, L.
N.
Further multiplication
Discharged by RES to intestine Enters peyers patches of distal ileum.
Causes inflammation; necrosis
ulcer formation intestinal bleeding Further ulceration Intestinal perforation.
