⛔️ Alerta de #Fiebre #Tifoidea
Me han llegado múltiples mensajes de mis pacientes con cadenas de #Whatsapp que alertan sobre varios casos en #Caracas.
Así que vamos a explicar un poco. Mi intención no es alarmar, por el contrario, quiero tranquilizar y educar en prevención.

La FT es causada por la bacteria #Salmonella typhi. Se transmite por la ingesta de alimentos y el agua contaminados o el contacto estrecho con un infectado. Sus signos y síntomas son:
⚠️ Fiebre
⚠️ Cefalea
⚠️ Dolor estomacal
⚠️ #Estreñimiento o #diarrea
⚠️ Manchas rosadas en piel

La mayoría de las personas que tienen fiebre tifoidea se sienten mejor unos días después de comenzar el #tratamiento con #antibióticos.
Un 15% de los casos se pueden complicar con #Pancreatitis, #Colcistitis, #hepatitis, #neumonía entre otros.
#NO se automedique.

Today is #NationalChickenWingDay, one of many US holidays celebrating animal-based products.
We honor this day by exploring the health, environmental, and ethical impacts of #poultry farming and celebrating plant-based chicken for providing an animal-free alternative. 1/12

Despite their proven ability to experience suffering, #chickens account for 95% of land animals farmed for food globally.

Chicken breeds that grow rapidly often suffer from cardiovascular problems, muscle deformities, #lameness, and external sores.
Linda Tyler reports on a @uofg study showing that genetic manipulation comes at a great physical cost to #chickens. 3/12

This week, investigators found that German #meat companies sold sausages made from bones.
The #livestock sector is highly secretive, hiding its practices from the public eye. As a result, many people don't know what animal products are made of, including these 8 examples.👇1/11

Many #ChickenNuggets contain very little actual meat.
Instead, they mostly consist of fat and other body parts, including #chicken nerves, bone, skin, and connective tissue. @iltaylorwriter reports. 2/11

Farmers across Europe use a hormone derived from pregnant mares to increase reproduction in pigs, #cows & other farmed animals. @KevanySophie reports via @guardian. 3/11

June 3 is #NationalEggDay. We honor today by taking a close look at the environmental, ethical, and health impacts of poultry farming and highlighting ways to help hens raised for their #eggs. 1/13
Studies show that #chickens are socially complex beings capable of self-control and empathy.
Despite their proven sentience, the #poultry industry raises billions of chickens for their meat and eggs every year. @JenMishler reports. 2/13

Before the 1920s, #chickens were thought of as smart and industrious.
When chickens became the first factory-farmed animal in the world, #chicken representation in the media evolved to justify their treatment within farms. @LillieGardner reports. 3/13

1/ Strict new rules on the use of #antibiotics and other #antimicrobials in pigs, chickens and other #farm animals come into force today across the #EU. What do the changes mean - and are they good for animals and consumers? A thread//
2/ In 2019 alone 5m deaths were connected to #AntimicrobialResistance (#AMR), according to a recent @TheLancet report. The deadly, drug-resistant infections behind these deaths come about because of the over- and misuse of antimicrobials, which makes bacteria resistant to them
3/ When drug-resistant bugs develop in animals because of antibiotic overuse they can easily spread to humans - often through #food. For example, rates of drug-resistant #salmonella have risen - & infections mainly come from #chicken & other #poultry. imperial.ac.uk/news/170889/an…
⚠️OUTBREAK WARNING—CDC warns fresh whole onions causing large #Salmonella outbreak in 37 states. Throw away any unlabeled onions at home. Do not eat, sell, or serve red, white, or yellow onions imported from 🇲🇽 & distributed in US by **ProSource Inc**. 🧵 cdc.gov/salmonella/ora…
2) Fresh whole red, white, and yellow onions imported from Chihuahua, 🇲🇽 & distributed by ProSource Inc—sold to restaurants & grocery stores throughout US. ProSource Inc. indicated onions were last imported on August 27, but imported onions can last up to 3 months in storage.
3) Do not sell or serve fresh whole red, white, or yellow onions that were imported from Chihuahua, 🇲🇽 and distributed by ProSource Inc.
•Check storage coolers and coolers for these onions.
•Wash and sanitize any surfaces that may have come in contact with these onions.

#idboardreview 50 M on chronic daily steroids; recent trip to Mexico are daily beef tacos & queso fresco now presents w/ diarrhea, fever, chills. Ct+ enteritis, BC GNR. Dx? #medEd #idmedEd #IDtwitter
Approx 5% of pts w/ GI illness by nontyphoidal #Salmonella will develop bacteremia, serious/potentially fatal problem. more likely to occur in immunologically compromised & these hosts are also more likely to develop focal infection.
Here it is!

#Haemolysis data indicates that #disruption of host cell #membranes by rotating #flagella is physically possible, despite what previously published measurements with firing gold nanobeads at tissue cultures tells us.
[Pls read the paper for the more complex story with E.coli]

But what if #flagella did penetrate host cell #membranes? What might that mean?
Well, in vitro at least, #Ecoli and #Salmonella #flagella can enhance #actin #polymerization rates. Interactions with #Cofilin-1 (CFL) had an additive effect...
8 years since the first manuscript draft but it's finally here!

We spotted what looked like very intimate adherence...

It was a toughie to quantify back then with the tools we had, but every time we looked, we saw it 🤓

Whole genome analysis of all sequenced African #iNTS isolates by @yan_salsa @NWenner and @implosian identified several variants of MacAB associated with each lineage.

We showed these MacAB variants change resistance to the antimicrobial peptide C18G and alter #Salmonella replication in macrophages.
