foodborne disease → occurs → home-based outbreaks
“it is now accepted that many cases of foodborne illness occur as a result of improper food handling and preparation by consumers in their own kitchens.”
multidrug-resistant isolates → are rarely found in → cases acquired from Danish food
“Multidrug and quinolone resistance was rarely found in cases acquired from Danish food, but was common in cases related to imported products (49.7% and 35.6% of attributable cases) and travelling (26.5% and 38.3% of attributable cases).”
enterotoxigenic E. coli → occasionally contained → foods in Mexico
“The foods in Mexico, both from homes and commercial sources, commonly contained Escherichia coli and occasionally enterotoxigenic E. coli.”
Shigella → found → foods obtained from Mexican homes
count: 4 isolates
“Salmonella (17 isolates), Shigella (4 isolates), and Aeromonas hydrophila (1 isolate) were found only in the foods obtained from Mexican homes.”
Salmonella enteritidis → is an emerging → food and water borne pathogen
“Some important emerging food and water borne bacterial pathogens include Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia enterocolitica, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157: H7, Vibrio cholerae biotype E1 Tor Serotype 0139, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Aeromonas hydrophila, A. sobria, and A. caviae.”
Vibrio cholerae biotype E1 Tor Serotype 0139 → is an emerging → food and water borne pathogen
“Some important emerging food and water borne bacterial pathogens include Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia enterocolitica, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157: H7, Vibrio cholerae biotype E1 Tor Serotype 0139, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Aeromonas hydrophila, A. sobria, and A. caviae.”
traditional fermented foods → pose → public health risk
reason: poor sanitary conditions and informal marketing
“They thus remain beyond any official control for their compliance to national regulatory standards. Therefore, their consumption is anticipated to put the public health at risk, although such risk has never been estimated on a scientific basis.”
Vibrio parahaemolyticus → is an emerging → food and water borne pathogen
“Some important emerging food and water borne bacterial pathogens include Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia enterocolitica, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157: H7, Vibrio cholerae biotype E1 Tor Serotype 0139, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Aeromonas hydrophila, A. sobria, and A. caviae.”
coliforms → showed higher counts → in foods from Mexican homes
“Food obtained from Mexican homes showed generally higher counts of coliforms and fecal coliforms than those obtained from commercial sources in Mexico and Houston.”
foodborne disease → increases → incidence
“The incidence of foodborne disease is increasing globally.”
