From person to person 2. Through sneezing or vomiting onto food or food contact surfaces 3. From touching dirty food-contact surfaces and equipment, and then touching food. 2-16 BACTERIA That Cause Foodborne Illness Basic Characteristics n Living, single-celled organism n Can be carried by food, water, soil, animals, humans, or insects n Can reproduce very rapidly under favorable conditions 2-17 Bacteria That Cause Foodborne Illness Basic Characteristics: continued n Some survive freezing n Some change into a different form called spores to protect themselves n Some spoil food; others cause illness n Some produce toxins that cause illness 2-18 Spores Certain bacteria can change into a different form, called SPORES, to protect themselves Form when nutrients are not available Ø Are commonly found in soil and contaminate food grown there Ø Can contaminate meat, poultry, fish, and other food exposed to soil or dust 2-19 Spores n Can resist heat, allowing them to survive cooking temperatures n Can revert back to a form capable of growth when: n Food is not stored at the proper temperature n Food is not held or cooled properly 2-20 Major Foodborne Illnesses Caused by Bacteria Infections n Campylobacteriosis n Salmonellosis n Shigellosis n Listeriosis n Vibrio parahaemolyticus Gastroenteritis n Vibrio vulnificus Primary Septicemia/Gastroenteritis 2-21 Infection: Campylobacteriosis Illness: Campylobacteriosis Bacteria: Campylobacter jejuni Most Common Symptoms Commonly Associated Food Most Common Symptoms Diarrhea n Diarrhea (may be bloody) n Poultry Abdominal Cramps n Abdominal cramps n Water Fever contaminated with n Fever Headache the bacteria n Headache 2-22 Preventing Campylobacteriosis To reduce the bacteria in food: n Cook food, particularly poultry, to required minimum internal temperatures To prevent the transfer of the bacteria: n Prevent cross-contamination between raw poultry and ready-to-eat food. 2-23 Infection: Salmonellosis Illness: Salmonellosis Bacteria: Salmonella spp. Commonly Associated Food Most Common Symptoms n Poultry and eggs n Diarrhea n Dairy products n Abdominal cramps n Beef n Vomiting n Fever 2-24 Preventing Salmonellosis To reduce the bacteria in food: n Cook raw beef, poultry, and eggs to required minimum internal temperatures.
