Many bacteria belong to conditionally pathogenic flora. They can be located in almost all parts of the body, most of all – in the gastrointestinal tract. One of the representatives of such microorganism is Enterobacter cloacae. These bacteria live together with the person constantly, with no harm to his condition. Under the influence of unfavorable factors, they begin to proliferate, resulting in become pathogenic. Enterobacteria are ubiquitous, they can live in a free state (from rivers, wastewater, on the surface of plants) and the inside of the human body and animals. Enterobacter cloacae belong to the saprophytes, living on the mucosa of the small intestine and colon, in the distal digestive tract.

What are the enterobacteria?

Enterobacteria belong to the gram-negative sticks, not able to form spores. They are facultative anaerobes, that is, capable of surviving without oxygen. Enterobacteria resistant to most disinfectants and to many antibiotics. These organisms are divided into many genera, some of which cause serious diseases. Enterobacter cloacae do not belong to pathogenic flora, therefore, in the normal condition of the body they do not pose any harm. These bacteria have pathogenicity in a strong weakening of the body, so they are often called opportunistic infections. You can become infected only from human or animal fecal-oral or alimentary infections (by eating infected meat, milk, eggs). In the hospital transfer of enterobacteria is carried out via the hands of medical staff. This type of microorganisms often causes nosocomial infection.

Enterobacter cloacae: symptoms of infection

Enterobacteria often causes disorders of the digestive tract, but can parasitize and in other departments. Due to the fact that the urinary organs in women are in close proximity with the intestine, there often there are inflammatory processes caused by the microflora of the latter. When too weak immune system can enterobacteria to proliferate in other parts of the body, for example in the throat. Because of this, they fall into the airway and be one of the pathogens of nosocomial pneumonia-severe condition, which is difficult to treat. The penetration of enterobacteria in blood flow occurs septicaemia – a disease in which they are parasites in all organs and systems. The most common symptoms of infection are abdominal pain, stool disorders, nausea, itching and burning in the genital area (especially women), increased body temperature up to subfebrile figures. In neonates and critically ill patients enterobacteria can cause meningitis, pyelonephritis, septicemia.

Diagnosis of diseases caused by Enterobacteriaceae

To Understand that the patient enterobacteria infection can be for a number of diagnostic criteria. First, such patients are often greatly weakened, a long time are taking antibiotics or are on long admission in the hospital. Given these factors, and characteristic symptoms, conduct special research methods. The allocation of Enterobacter cloacae in Calais, it is necessary to consider that the intestine is the habitat of these microorganisms, therefore, their small number does not mean the infection. The norm is 10*5, a pathological condition caused by Enterobacteriaceae, observed an increase in this indicator. Increase the level of Enterobacter cloacae in the urine is most often found in cystitis, vaginitis, vulvitis.

Treatment enterobacteria infections

Due To the fact that enterobacteria cause disease only in debilitated patients, it is first necessary to increase immunity, to avoid adverse factors to treat the underlying pathology. In addition, increased levels of Enterobacter cloacae may occur with prolonged use of antibiotics. In this case you need to cancel therapy. If it is impossible it is recommended to use the tools, and protects against intestinal dysbiosis. These include preparations containing lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. Also do not forget about symptomatic therapy.
