Investigation of Disease Outbreaks01:23

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks

Multistate foodborne outbreaks pose significant public health risks and require meticulous investigation to identify sources and implement control measures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) utilizes a dynamic seven-step process for these investigations, integrating data from laboratories, interviews, and environmental assessments to protect public health.Outbreak Detection: The detection of multistate outbreaks typically begins with PulseNet, the CDC's national laboratory...
Sources of Food Contamination01:29

Sources of Food Contamination

Contamination of food by microbial agents and natural toxins poses significant risks to public health. These hazards can be introduced at various points across the food supply chain, ranging from environmental sources to processing and storage stages. Understanding these contamination pathways is critical for developing strategies to ensure food safety.Seafood is particularly vulnerable to contamination through both environmental exposure and microbial colonization. Toxins from harmful algal...
Rapid Identification of Pathogens01:25

Rapid Identification of Pathogens

MALDI-TOF MS has transformed clinical microbiology by offering a rapid and reliable method for pathogen identification. The traditional approach to microbial identification typically involves time-consuming culture techniques and biochemical tests, which can delay the initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy. MALDI-TOF MS avoids these delays by using characteristic ribosomal protein mass patterns of microbial cells, enabling accurate species-level identification within minutes.Principle...
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)01:30

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a science-based, preventive system used globally to ensure food safety by identifying, evaluating, and controlling biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout food production. Originally developed by NASA and the Pillsbury Company for astronaut food, HACCP is now a core component of the Codex Alimentarius.HACCP operates on prerequisite programs—such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), sanitation procedures, and supplier...
Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry01:27

Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...
Microbes in Food Production01:29

Microbes in Food Production

Microbial fermentation is central to food biotechnology, enhancing flavor, texture, preservation, and stability. Fermentative microorganisms metabolize carbohydrates into organic acids, alcohols, and other metabolites that inhibit spoilage organisms and improve digestibility while contributing distinctive sensory qualities.In baking, amylases naturally present in flour hydrolyze starch into monosaccharides such as glucose, which Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferments anaerobically. Through...

Area of Science:

  • Food safety and microbiology
  • Veterinary public health
  • Zoonotic disease epidemiology

Background:

  • Changes in agri-food systems and bacterial evolution drive the emergence of zoonotic microorganisms.
  • Emerging pathogens include multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria, verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli, and novel Campylobacteraceae species.
  • These microorganisms pose risks in the food and water chain, impacting public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the emergence of pathogens in the agri-food chain, using Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli and Campylobacteraceae as examples.
  • To deliberate factors contributing to their emergence and discuss their epidemiology and survival.
  • To review tools for pathogen detection and tracking, and explore control strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and analysis of factors contributing to pathogen emergence.
  • Examination of epidemiological data and survival characteristics of selected pathogens.
  • Overview of current detection, tracking, and control methodologies in the agri-food chain.

Main Results:

  • Identified key drivers for emergent zoonotic pathogens, including agri-food chain dynamics and bacterial adaptation.
  • Detailed the epidemiology and survival of Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli and Campylobacteraceae in the meat chain.
  • Highlighted the importance of advanced detection and tracking tools for managing these threats.

Conclusions:
