In this week’s episode of Bugs and Drugs, we will dive into two worlds of food borne bacteria. One can be found in reheated rice, known as Bacillus cereus. The other is found in raw or undercooked pork, known as Yersinia enterocolitica.

B. cereus can present with vomiting syndrome or diarrheal syndrome. You won’t need to do any testing unless there is an outbreak and antibiotics are not needed. Your patient will need some IV fluids and letting the bacteria go through their system.

Patients that come in with Yersinia enterocolitica, will present with diarrhea and abdominal pain.

In some cases, your patient can experience reactive arthritis and erythema nodosum, affecting joints and skin. Once you confirm with a stool and blood test, antibiotics are recommended along with IV fluids.

Join Dr. Niket Sonpal, survivor of contaminated PB&J, in Bugs and…IV fluids.
