| | Fecal Coliform Bacteria Counts: What They Really Mean About Water Quality |
| | Fecal coliforms, particularly E. coli, indicate that there are mammal or bird feces in the water. | | | Also, the amount of fecal matter may not be average, it probably won't all come off in the water, and the part of it that does will not be evenly distributed. | | | A study which turned up 84,000 fecal coliform bacteria per 100 ml of kitchen sink water did not consider the possibility that indicators were multiplying and there wasn't really that much feces (or pathogens) in the water. |

| | Fecal Pathogen Safety and Information Links |
| | Fecal specimens from patients were not analyzed for B. cereus because the laboratory that processed the samples did not consider it an enteric pathogen. | | | Another potential route of exposure is from the ingestion of ground water that has been contaminated by pathogens in irrigation water. | | | The consequence of exposure to one or more routes of transmission is dependent on the likelihood of a significant number of microorganisms being present in sludge that might result in infection. |

| | Cryptosporidiosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It is a disease spread through the fecal-oral route; the main symptom is self-limiting diarrhea in people with intact immune system. | | | Cryptosporidiosis is a disease affecting the intestines of mammals that is caused by Cryptosporidium, a protozoan parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa. | | | In immunocompromised individuals, such as AIDS patients, infection can cause permanent and life-threatening diarrhea. |

| | Intestinal Protozoa |
| | Intestinal protozoa are transmitted by the fecal-oral route and tend to exhibit similar life cycles consisting of a cyst stage and a trophozoite stage (Figure). | | | The infection is acquired through the ingestion of cysts and the risk factors are similar to other diseases transmitted by the fecal-oral route (see Table). | | | Abscess drainage (ie, needle aspiration or surgical drainage) is now rarely performed for therapeutic purposes and is only indicated in cases of large abscesses with a high probability of rupture. |

| | fecal-oral route |
| | Many diseases of humans are passed via what we euphemistically term, the "fecal-oral route." This is a polite way of saying that infection-laden stool from one person found its way into the mouth of another, with the expected consequence of infection. | | | The fecal-oral route is of course more subtle than that. | | | In the end, our refuge from the fecal-oral route is handwashing, proper food cleaning and preparation, and public health measures to ensure clean food and water. |

| | PICO - Epidemiology of Polio |
| | Before the 1950s, there was no effective treatment for poliomyelitis, and ignorance about its route of transmission often hampered attempts to control it. | | | As part of the "War on Polio," researchers Albert Sabin and Jonas Salk, taking different approaches, developed effective vaccines against the virus, and a widespread immunization campaign rapidly brought it under control in developed countries. | | | In other parts of the world, where money for health care is scarce, the Sabin vaccine is preferred, and it is this vaccine which has made the eradication of polio a realistic goal. |

| | There are many biological and practical advantages to the Oral Polio Vaccine. | | | Immunosuppressed individuals should not take the Oral Polio Vaccine, and should avoid contact with persons who have received the Sabin vaccine for two weeks post vaccination. | | | Since attenuated vaccines are capable of transient growth, the OPV allows prolonged exposure of the immune system to the epitopes on the attenuated organisms, resulting in increased immunogenicity and memory-cell development. |
