the employee in this case who originally cleaned the
culture spill reported having diarrhea for one day but taking no
time off from work. What is the importance of this facr?
The employee in this who originally cleaned the culture spill has diarrhea, but still into work. This means that the employee has the symptoms but it is manageable by him or her. The bacteria like Escherichia coli link (E. coli), Shigella link, Salmonella link, Campylobacter link are fount to be more active in causing diarrhea. But certainly, even with the effect of medicine, it can withstand for the day. There may be two reasons, the employed is immuned enough against the disease is, the MALT (Mucosa-associated Lymphatic system) is found to be very active in terms of fighting with the body germs, the antibodies cell are active enough to fight against the germs and pathogens. They are found in the sub mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. The other reason is the employee would have taken some antibiotics to avoid the increasing effect of bacteria. This kills the bacteria and reduces the bacterial infection in body. The diagram below shows the mechanism of action of MALT.
