Enterotoxaemias - Bacterial Diseases
- Many bacteria produce toxins that are often responsible for clinical effects.
- e.g. oedema disease due to E. Coli.
- Toxin is produced in the gut but is absorbed into the circulation to take effect elsewhere.
- e.g. oedema disease due to E. Coli.
- Systemic effects of these toxins may kill the animal.
- Systemic toxicosis derived from organisms in the alimentary tract is also seen with the Clostridia group of bacteria.
