A 62 year old female presented to the Emergency Department with abdominal pain, vomiting, and profuse, watery diarrhea the previous night. She also complained of a fever and headache. She reports that her husband was experiencing similar, more mild symptoms. They had both eaten at a buffet style restaurant a few hours prior to the onset of symptoms.
What are the possible pathogens that caused this food-borne illness? Explain why.
