"Enterobacteria" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Enterobacteria refers to a group of rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria that are commonly found in the intestines of humans and other animals. They are a type of facultative anaerobe, meaning they can thrive in both aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen) environments. Examples of Enterobacteria include Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella, and Shigella, which can cause a range of infections, from mild diarrhea to life-threatening illnesses.
Here are 5 usage examples based on the word "Enterobacteria":
Enterics refers to the group or division of bacteria that is primarily found in the intestines or gut of humans and animals.
Enterobacterial refers to a type of bacteria that belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. This family includes a wide range of bacteria that are commonly found in the digestive tract of humans and animals, as well as in soil and water. Enterobacterial bacteria are typically rod-shaped, gram-negative, and have a significant impact on human health. They are associated with various diseases, such as urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, and respiratory infections.
Enterobiasis is a type of parasitic infection caused by the worm Enterobius vermicularis, also known as pinworms. It is a common parasite that affects humans, especially children, and is spread through contaminated food, water, or direct contact with an infected person. Symptoms of enterobiasis include itching around the anus, restless sleep, and abdominal pain.
An enterocele is a type of hernia that occurs when the intestine (enters) herniates through the weakened or damaged wall of the abdominal cavity, typically in the pelvic area. It is often seen in women who have had a hysterectomy or other pelvic surgery.
Enterocoeles refer to sac-like herniations or cysts that protrude from the lining of the abdominal cavity into the tumor tissue, typically found in the intestines.
Enterocentesis is a medical procedure that involves inserting a needle or tube into the abdominal cavity to drain fluid that has accumulated there. This fluid, also known as anasarca, is typically caused by diseases or injuries that affect the body's ability to absorb fluids, such as congestive heart failure, liver disease, or chronic kidney disease. During the procedure, a healthcare provider will typically use ultrasound guidance to locate the fluid-filled area and insert the needle or tube to drain the fluid.
