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.
  • 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.
