If you have a weak immune system because of an existing condition or treatment, you may have a higher risk of bacterial gastroenteritis. The risk also increases if you take drugs that decrease stomach acidity.

Handling food incorrectly can also raise your risk of bacterial gastroenteritis. Food that’s undercooked, stored too long at room temperature, or not reheated well can aid in the spread and survival of bacteria.

Bacteria can produce harmful substances known as toxins. These toxins can remain even after reheating food.

There are a number of risk factors for bacterial gastroenteritis:

• Contaminated water - people who drink heavily contaminated water without boiling it or treating it for any possible bacteria, especially those people in the developing world, are at great risk of bacterial gastroenteritis

• Incorrect bottling/canning - people who make jams or other bottled food products need to use correct and hygienic bottling/canning methods, otherwise the food can become infected with bacteria and cause bacterial gastroenteritis and even botulism in very severe cases

• Poor hygiene - preparing food in an unhygienic manner can lead to bacterial contamination and bacterial gastroenteritis, especially if raw food is being handle (such as chicken or pork) and hands/equipment are not washed in between handling different types of food
