Food Borne illnesses data

48,000,000

• Norovirus

• Salmonella

• Non typhoidal

• Clostridium perfringens

• Campylobacter spp.

• Staph. Aureus

Food Borne illnesses data (Hospitalization)

128,000

Food Borne illnesses data (Deaths )

3000

• salmonella

• non typhoidal Clostridium

• Toxoplasma gondii

• Listeria monocytogenes

• Norovirus

• Campylobacter spp.

Coxiella Burnetii (c. Burnetii) - Q fever (key s/s)

Key s/s

• nausea

• Stomach cramps

• Diarrhea

• Fever

• Headache

• Cough

Coxiella Burnetii (c. Burnetii) - Q fever (reservoirs & food of concern)

• animal reservoirs

  • cows

  • Goats

• Environment reservoirs

  • soil

• Dairy products

Coxiella Burnetii (c. Burnetii) - Q fever (interesting /unique)

• lowest infectious dose of any food borne illness (only ONE single cell)

• Very resistant to different environmental conditions - so it can survive for extended periods of time

• Withstand very high temperatures (needs a very high temp to kill the bacteria than any other foodborne)

Listeria monocytogenes -Listeriosis (key s/s)

primary symptoms

• Fever

• Stomach cramps

• Headache

  symptoms of invasion disease (Beyond the stomach)

• Confusion

• Disorientation

• Loss of Balance

• Severe neck pain

Listeria monocytogenes -Listeriosis (reservoirs and foods of concern)

• animal reservoir

  • Daria products

  • Lunch meats

  • Fresh produce that is grown in the ground where you might have contaminated soil ( Environmental reservoir)

Listeria monocytogenes -Listeriosis (interesting/unique)

• Risk to fetus developing In utero (primary concern)

  • Miscarriages

  • Late term, pregnancy losses

• This is why when you’re pregnant you’re not supposed to eat deli cheeses and deli lunch meats unless they were pasteurized

• It can grow in refrigerated temperatures(That’s why we keep our refrigerators > 40% To keep bacterial growth to a minimum)

E. coli - Key symptoms (Specifically E. coli 0157)

In the family of Shiga toxin producing E. coli

• these toxins attacked the lining of the G.I. system, which can cause Serious symptoms, such as

  • Bloody diarrhea

E. coli - reservoirs and foods of concern (Specifically E. coli 0157)

• Animal reservoir

  • Ground Beef -Primary foods of concern (this often happens during the slaughter phase and all that Contaminated meat that was on the surface gets to the center and if you like your burger on the rare side, the bacteria in the center is probably not getting heated to the proper temperature) -Think hamburger

E. coli - unique/interesting (Specifically E. coli 0157)

• because of that Shiga toxin, which can cause a very serious disease

• About 10% of people who get E. coli 0157 develop hemolytic uremic Which can cause kidney failure and in many cases is fatal)

Salmonella -Non-typhoidal (salmonellosis) -Reservoirs and foods of concern

• Poultry is a primary reservoir

  • eggs

  • Turkeys

  • Etc

Salmonella -Non-typhoidal (salmonellosis) -interesting/unique

• It’s the number one cause of hospitalizations and death among foodborne illness agents
