Staphylococcus aureus → causes → gastroenteritis
condition: consumption of contaminated food
“Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of gastroenteritis resulting from the consumption of contaminated food.”
Vibrio parahaemolyticus → causes → gastroenteritis with watery diarrhea
consumption: raw or undercooked seafood
“Infection with V. parahaemolyticus is often associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood, causing gastroenteritis with watery diarrhea.”
Vibrio parahaemolyticus → causes → acute gastroenteritis
source: seafoodvirulence_factors: thermostable direct hemolysin (tdh),TDH-related hemolysin (trh)

Salmonella → causes → gastroenteritis
“Salmonella can cause a number of different disease syndromes including gastroenteritis, bacteremia, and typhoid fever, with the most common being gastroenteritis, which is often characterized by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache.”

percentage: 68%

Providencia alcalifaciens → causes → gastroenteritis
“This study strongly suggests that the outbreak was caused by P. alcalifaciens. This is the first report of a large outbreak of foodborne infection attributed to the organism and provides definitive evidence that P. alcalifaciens is a causative agent of gastroenteritis.”
