In many countries of the world, bacterial food-borne zoonotic infections are the most common cause of human intestinal disease. Salmonella and Campylobacter account for over 90% of all reported cases of bacteria-related food poisoning world-wide. Poultry and poultry products have been incriminated in the majority of traceable food-borne illnesses caused by these bacteria, although all domestic ...

Background: Salmonella spp. are major causes of food-borne disease and have been identified among many diarrheal outbreaks. The major aim of the current investigation was to evaluate the class 1 and 2 integrons and antibiotic resistance pattern in Salmonella enterica isolated from diarrheal food-borne outbreaks in Iran.  Methods: This study was carried out on 115 diarrheal feces samples obtain...

Background: Intestinal protozoa transmitted by food are the most common opportunistic parasites among the HIV+/AIDS patients. As, there is no report about prevalence of food-borne intestinal parasites in such patients in Yazd, so this study was performed to determine the prevalence of intestinal protozoa in the HIV+/AIDS patients in comparison with HIV- individuals. Methods: A case-control stu...

Current and potential future trends in technology, consumption and trade of food that may impact on food-borne disease are analysed and the key driving factors identified focusing on the European Union and, to a lesser extent, accounting for the United States and global issues. Understanding of factors is developed using system-based methods and their impact is discussed in relation to current ...

introduction:despite advances in disease prevention and food materials technology, food – borne diseases are still a major problem in both developed and developing countries. morever, meat plays a key role in transfer of bacteria, especially “zoonotic” to humans. therefore, we decided to investigate the outbreak of pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella,campylobacter, yersinia and aeromonas in ...

It is believed that over 40 different food-borne pathogens are responsible for human illnesses (Buzby and Roberts, 1996) and in the United Kingdom an average of 9.4 million food-borne illness cases are reported annually (Walker et al., 2003). It is estimated, by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that food-borne diseases cause between six and 81 million illnesses, 325,000 hospi...
