Baby botulism, 4 months post "Potluck Botulism" Outbreak: One of the patients who recovered from
the "Potluck Botulusm" outbreak 4 months ago took her 6 month old baby to the doctor. The baby
was having trouble nursing/breastfeeding and the parents noticed milk would "dribble" out of the
babies mouth. The baby had an apparent white coating inside the mouth.
Since the baby's birth, the mother explained she would place honey on her breast to encourage the
baby to nurse.
You notice the baby has little muscle control, appearing like a "rag doll", exhibiting flaccid paralysis.
What is your diagnosis?
wound botuism
O wound tetanus
neonatal tetanus
O infant botulism
Day Care Center outbreak: Salmonellosis
You just finished identifying the fecal contaminated food at the first restaurant when you learn there
is an outbreak of Salmonella-food poisoning at a day care center,
You sample food from the Center's refrigerator and are worried that the egg salad or chicken salad or
peanut butter used to make sandwiches may be contaminated with Salmonella.
You know Salmonella cannot ferment lactose and it can make hydrgoen sulfide. The strain associated
with the outbreak cannot ferment sucrose but can ferment glucose.
You isolate in pure culture bacteria from each of the suspect foods and inoculate each into TSI
slants. (see results below)
egg salad microbe
chicken salad microbe
peanut butter microbe
