This document discusses several intestinal pathogens including Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli, and Yersinia. It covers their etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, incubation period, clinical presentation, complications, and treatment. The pathogens can cause a range of illnesses from self-limiting gastroenteritis to severe enterocolitis depending on their toxigenicity, invasiveness, and ability to cause bacteremia and septic shock. Diagnosis involves stool microscopy and culture. Treatment focuses on rehydration and antibiotics for the more invasive forms.
