It is now past the normal dinner time, but you do not even want to think about food. only diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting are on your mind. this all started a couple of hours ago in the early evening, after having a ham sandwich for lunch bought at a kiosk out on the street. since you have had microbiology, you surmise that it is a staphylococcus aureus-related disorder. why do you think this?

It can be surmised that it is a Staphylococcus aureus-related disorder from the symptoms shown, which are common effects of food poisoning. Food poisoning is one of the main disorders caused by Staphylococcus aureus. In addition to this, the symptms have started to show in just a few hours. It serves as further proof as the incubation period of S. aureus is within six hours. Lastly, you have eaten food from a public place. Since S. aureus is communicable and can survive for a long time on plastic, it can be surmised with even further proof that it is most probably a S. aureus disorder, specifically food poisoning.
