Match the following microorganisms with their typical sources: Salmonella | Contaminated raw meat and cat feces Toxoplasma gondii | Raw shellfish and contaminated water Hepatitis A | Contaminated meat, milk, and reptiles
Understand the Problem
The question requires matching each microorganism (Salmonella, Toxoplasma gondii, and Hepatitis A) with its corresponding typical source of contamination. You need to know the common sources of each pathogen to correctly pair them.
Answer
* **Salmonella:** Contaminated raw meat and reptiles * **Toxoplasma gondii:** Contaminated raw meat and cat feces * **Hepatitis A:** Raw shellfish and contaminated water
Here's the match for each microorganism with its typical sources:
- Salmonella: Contaminated raw meat and reptiles
- Toxoplasma gondii: Contaminated raw meat and cat feces
- Hepatitis A: Raw shellfish and contaminated water
Answer for screen readers
Here's the match for each microorganism with its typical sources:
- Salmonella: Contaminated raw meat and reptiles
- Toxoplasma gondii: Contaminated raw meat and cat feces
- Hepatitis A: Raw shellfish and contaminated water
More Information
Matching microorganisms to their sources is crucial in food safety to prevent foodborne illnesses. Being aware of common sources helps food handlers and consumers take precautions.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the sources of different microorganisms. Always double-check the specific foods or environments associated with each pathogen.
