Microorganisms Main Causes of Diarrhea
One cause of this diarrhea outbreak is the contamination of food or beverages by certain pathogenic microorganisms. There are several common pathogenic microorganisms that cause diarrhea or vomiting.

Diarrhea accompanied by vomiting and stomach cramps, can come suddenly (nausea). Transmitted through food and beverages contaminated by bacteria contained in the patient vomit or feces. Second, Shigella sp. basiler major cause dysentery, which is a disease with symptoms of dysentery is a great abdominal pain, frequent defecation, and pain with a little stool volume with mucus and blood. Third, Escherichia coli, rod-shaped bacteria, gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, and unable to form spores. As we know the bacterium E. coli is a normal organism found in the human gut so that their existence is not a problem. However, some specific strains of these bacteria can cause diseases such as diarrhea or vomiting. Fourth, an amoeba. Some of the types of single-celled organisms are likely to play a role in the occurrence of outbreaks of diarrhea or even vomiting. Humans can become infected by eating cyst is from food or drink.
