Abstract:
Food poisoning is encountered throughout the world. Among the bacteria that cause food-borne poisoning, some are particularly important in terms of frequency and/or of seriousness of the disease. Bacteria produce toxins that cause food-borne poisoning, resulting in symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal disorders to paralysis and death. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention estimates that 76 million people become ill from food related diseases each year resulting in 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths. Recognizing specific food poisoning syndromes allows emergency health care providers not only to initiate appropriate treatment rapidly but also to notify health departments early and thereby prevent further poisoning cases. Although the rates of footborne illness may not decreases significantly during the next decades, we can expect more rapid identification and tracing of outbreaks as well as an improved understanding of the pathogenes of the footborne disease.
