Salmonella enteritidis Sample Clauses

Salmonella enteritidis. Salmonella enteritidis is gram-negative bacterium that can infect humans through the consumption of contaminated food. Clinically, patients can present with fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea after an IP of 12 – 72 hours after the consumption of contaminated food. Salmonella contains more than 2,500 pathogenic serotypes (15). In the United States, Salmonella is the most common etiologic agent of foodborne illness (16). Annually, around 1.3 million cases of foodborne illness and more than 500 deaths are attributed to Xxxxxxxxxx (17). Salmonella normally live in the intestines of humans, animals including cattle and birds, and can be excreted later in feces. Contamination of these excreta or infected animals can lead to infection (15). In the KSA, cross sectional studies were carried out to determine the prevalence of pathogenic Salmonella serotypes among poultry farms. Among the 25,759 samples that were taken from the poultry and their environment, 1,052 (4%) of them were Salmonella positive (18). Improper thawing and undercooking of frozen chicken products can be a source of acquiring a Salmonella-associated foodborne illness; this can be attributed to the ability of Salmonella to survive in freezing temperatures (19). Ground beef was the main suspected source of contamination with a multidrug resistant Salmonella serotype that resulted in FBDOs in four American states in 2007, with a total of 42 cases (20). With the change toward healthier lifestyles and the increasing consumption of fresh, leafy, green vegetables, current FBDOs in Europe and in the United States show an association with ingestion of certain green, leafy vegetables, particularly lettuce and spinach and their ready to eat (RTE) salads. Contamination can occur at any stage of collection, storage, handling, and packaging. The most commonly reported pathogens are Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes (21). In the United States, in 2008, contaminated raw crops including tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and Xxxxxxx peppers were identified as the main vehicles for the Salmonella strain responsible for the FBDO (22). Furthermore, Salmonella serotype contamination of peanut products and raw almonds have been associated with several FBDOs in the US (23, 24). In 2006, 31 FBDOs, with a total of 251 cases, were reported to the Public Health Authority in the Qassim region in KSA. Some cases (21.1%) were linked to a microbiologic agent as the suspected pathogen. Salmonella sp...
