Study Notes
Foodborne Diseases
- Foodborne disease is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as any illness resulting from the consumption of contaminated food.
- There are over 250 known foodborne diseases.
Pathogens and Foodborne Diseases
- Pathogens that can cause foodborne diseases include bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and prions.
- Bacterial toxins can cause intoxication.
- Infection occurs when a pathogen enters the body and multiplies, while intoxication occurs when a toxin is ingested and causes symptoms.
Pathogen Growth in Food
- Pathogens can grow in food under favorable conditions, including Temperature ( размножаются при подходящей температуре ), Moisture, Oxygen, and Nutrient availability.
Bacterial Components and Foodborne Diseases
- Bacterial components that directly harm tissue or trigger disease symptoms are called virulence factors.
Specific Foodborne Diseases
- Staphylococcus aureus is associated with food poisoning symptoms occurring within 1-7 hours of consumption.
- Ciguatera, a type of food poisoning, is caused by consuming fish that have ingested toxins produced by certain marine algae.
- Salmonella and Escherichia coli are responsible for foodborne diseases related to undercooking and unhygienic kitchen practices.
- Botulism is caused by consuming food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum spores that produce a toxin.
- Botulinum toxin, produced by Clostridium botulinum, causes paralysis in food poisoning cases.
