Vibrio cholerae and Plesiomonas shigelloides were isolated from the patient. She had neither traveled outside the United States nor eaten raw shell-fish during the preceding month. She had attended a party 2 days before her hospitalization. Two other people at the party had acute diarrheal illness and elevated levels of serum antibodies against Vibrio. Everyone at the party ate crabs and rice pudding with coconut milk. Crabs left over from this party were served at a second party. One of the 20 people at the second party had onset of mild diarrhea; specimens from 14 of these people were negative for vibriocidal antibodies. 28. This is an example of a. vehicle transmission . b. airborne transmission. c. transmission by fomites. d. direct contact transmission. e. nosocomial transmission. 29. The etiologic agent of the disease is a. Plesiomonas shigelloides. b. crabs. c. Vibrio cholerae. d. coconut milk. e. rice pudding. 30. The source of the disease was a. Plesiomonas shigelloides. b. crabs. c. Vibrio cholerae. d. coconut milk. e. rice pudding.
