 While the current status of enteric infections in Japan is not accurately or thoroughly known, the most predominant pathogens responsible for bacterial and viral enteric infections are thought to be Campylobacter jejuni and norovirus, respectively. In the course of any year, enteric infections due to C. jejuni tend to predominate in the summer and those due to norovirus tend to predominate in the winter. The prevalence of C. jejuni and norovirus as the main pathogenic organisms responsible for bacterial and viral enteric infections is expected to continue due to the high rate of C. jejuni contamination in chickens, extreme contagiousness of norovirus, and absence of a norovirus vaccine. More than half of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli(EHEC)strains are serotype O-157, and hemolytic uremic syndrome is found in 6-7% of pediatric patients(0-9 years old)infected with EHEC. Amebic enteric infections are predominantly parasitic, and the reported number of patients with food poisoning by Kudoa septempunctata has increased as a consequence of the spreading awareness of this protozoan in the public and medical community.
