Overview
Classification

- Bacteria: Clostridium difficile, Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Campylobacter jejuni, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Salmonella spp, Treponema pallidum, Yersinia enterocolitica
- Virus: Cytomegalovirus
- Protozoan: Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia
- Fungi:
- Atypical micro-organism: Chlamydia'' trachomatis
Classification by route of infection
- Fecal-oral: Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli O157:H7
- 'Rectal route: lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
Classification by duration of symptoms
