Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, meningitis, and diarrhea are contagious diseases transmitted through vomiting, fecal-oral symptoms, or respiratory droplets. Immunization can prevent these diseases. Some of the pathogens that cause these diseases include Bordetella pertussis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and Candida albicans. Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that produces urease and can cause stomach ulcers. Salmonelloses are not caused by Salmonella typhi, but rather by undercooked poultry and eggs contaminated with Salmonella from reptile and rodent feces. Vibrio cholerae is a bacterium that causes acute diarrhea and its virulence is due to its enterotoxin. The best treatment for acute diarrhea is oral replacement of electrolytes. Hepatitis B virus can be transmitted through blood. The only body fluid that can transmit hepatitis B virus is blood.
