Overview

The most common pathogens that cause infectious colitis are enteric bacteria. They cause colitis by either directly invading the gut or by causing mucosal injury through toxins they produce without invasion. Common pathogens that cause infectious colitis include Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli, Chlamydia trachomatis, Cytomegalovirus, HSV. Clostridium difficile can cause colitis in individuals on antibiotic therapy.^[1]^[2]
