Explain whether there is a greater risk for E. coli O157:H7 infection when consuming a hamburger compared to consuming a steak. Can food poisoning still occur after consuming a reheated pot of soup known to be contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus? Why or why not? Give details of the gram reaction and shape of Staphylococcus and E. coli.

A child suffering from severe abdominal pain is admitted to the hospital several hours after eating a meal consisting of hamburgers, fried potatoes, and ice cream. Her blood has the appearance of "creamed tomato soup" and on analysis is found to contain massive quantities of chylomicrons. As the attending physician, what is your diagnosis of the patient's difficulty (the cause of the abdominal pain is unclear)? What treatment would you prescribe to alleviate the symptoms of this inherited disease?
