Acute gastroenteritis is a clinical syndrome refers to inflammation of
the lining of both the stomach and small intestines caused by a variety of
viral, bacterial, and parasitic enteropathogens. Viruses that cause
gastroenteritis include rotavirus, norovirus, adenovirus and astrovirus while
the most common types of bacteria causing gastroenteritis are Salmonella,
Shigella, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter. When food contaminated with
bacteria and remains at room temperature for many hours, the bacteria can
