and numerous food-borne disease outbreaks caused by microbes such as salmonella, E coli strain 0157, toxoplasma and listeria.

This summers huge egg recall was the latest reminder that we do battle against dangerous pathogens like E coli and salmonella in our kitchens every day.

The need for better traceability became clear after a national outbreak of salmonella illness in spring 2008 that sickened more than 1, 300 people across the country.

In fact, many common bacteria (such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and E coli) have developed a resistance to available antibiotics.

But coliform and salmonella could be coming from elsewhere Keim said. We know from another study that about two-thirds of women who use a breast pump never wash its parts she said.

-borne illnesses like salmonella. Producers would need to put protective procedures into place at critical points in the production process where problems are likely to arise.

Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in 2010 in the journal Pediatrics that an outbreak of salmonella in 79 people between 2006 and 2008 was caused by contaminated dry pet food.

The researchers found 530 laboratory-confirmed cases of infections including bacterial infections from Salmonella E coli

#Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Cucumbers Sickens 73 An outbreak of Salmonella linked to cucumbers imported from Mexico has sickened 73 people in 18 states according to an announcement today from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.

All patients were sick with a strain of bacteria called Salmonella Saintpaul. Symptoms of Salmonella food poisoning include diarrhea fever and abdominal cramps.

People typically become ill from Salmonella about 12 to 72 hours after eating food contaminated with the bacteria the CDC said.

Consumers should wash all produce including cucumbers before eating cutting or cooking the CDC said Pass it on:

A team of researchers compared the genome sequences of nearly 400 samples of diarrhoea-causing Salmonella enterica collected from people and livestock in Scotland.

when global epidemics of drug-resistant salmonella infections began to arise. Livestock was assumed to be the source of the epidemics

The authors therefore suggest that local livestock are not the source of drug-resistant human salmonella outbreaks in Scotland.

They have added also non-routine tests to target the pig situation looking for Streptococcus Salmonella E coli O157 and thermotolerant coliform bacteria.

Most of those illnesses were caused by contamination of the product with E coli or with species of Salmonella or Campylobacter.

#Perfect storm needed for salmonella to spread in postharvest tomatoesuniversity of Florida researchers have gained new insight into produce-associated salmonella that they hope will eventually reduce the number and severity of the illness-causing outbreaks.

what the researchers call a perfect storm for salmonella to proliferate in harvested tomatoes a new study shows.

It remains unclear how much each contributes to salmonella's spread but scientists say understanding the process is key to eventually curbing produce-associated outbreaks.

and non-typhoidal salmonella the study said. Those outbreaks resulted in public illness and multimillion-dollar losses for the food-crop industry.

Since 2006 at least 16 salmonella outbreaks have been linked to tomatoes cantaloupes sprouts cucumbers mangoes peanut butter and peppers in addition to frozen foods containing plant products.

But UF/IFAS scientists emphasize that less than 1 percent of supermarket produce contains salmonella or E coli and the contamination becomes a problem only when it contaminates other food

and salmonella pathogens have been sporadic with scientists struggling to pinpoint exact causes and their random nature argues for a perfect storm scenario the study said.

It is now clear that salmonella and other human pathogens can contaminate produce at any stage of the production cycle from farm to fork the UF/IFAS study said.

Faculty members Max Teplitski George Hochmuth Jerry Bartz and Marvasi all of UF's Institute of food and agricultural sciences wanted to find out which crop production factors are associated with tomato salmonella outbreaks.

and crop and pathogen genotypes affect salmonella's ability to multiply in the fruit. They grew three types of tomatoes--Bonny Best Florida-47 and Solar Fire during three production seasons over two years in Live oak and Citra.

and injected with seven strains of salmonella Marvasi said. Researchers chose those three varieties because in preliminary greenhouse experiments they showed varying degrees of salmonella resistance said Max Teplitski a UF associate professor of soil and water science.

Bonny Best is an heirloom variety often used as a control variety in plant pathogen experiments he said.

The study published by the journal PLOS One showed that particular cultivars combined with drier sunnier conditions work together to increase the chances that salmonella will spread.

Changing irrigation patterns caused little change in the potential for salmonella researchers found. Tomato maturity and cultivar particular strains of salmonella and seasonal differences were the strongest factors affecting proliferation.

And ripe tomatoes were more vulnerable than green tomatoes. Salmonella infection ranks among the most common foodborne illnesses often spread by raw

or undercooked meat poultry or eggs but sometimes results from eating contaminated produce. Symptoms can include abdominal pain fever nausea and vomiting.

In 2008 federal health officials erroneously blamed a salmonella outbreak on domestically grown tomatoes but later said imported contaminated peppers were responsible.

We were surprised also a few samples contained salmonella said Sarah A. Keim Phd principal investigator in the Center for Biobehavioral Health.

and 28 percent harbored Salmonella. By comparison during the same period 20 percent of raw whole organic chickens purchased from grocery stores were found to contain Campylobacter bacteria and 28 percent tested positive for Salmonella.

Just 8 percent of raw whole nonorganic conventionally processed chickens from the grocery stores tested positive for Campylobacter and 52 percent of those contained Salmonella.

Overall the chickens purchased at the farmers markets carried higher bacterial loads than the birds purchased at grocery stores.

and Salmonella indicated that there's something else going on Cutter said. So Josh developed a survey for poultry vendors with questions focused on processing methods as well as food safety practices.

Bacteria that cause foodborne illness such as Campylobacter and Salmonella are destroyed by proper cooking of poultry products;

#Biofilm helps Salmonella survive hostile conditionsvirginia Tech scientists have provided new evidence that biofilms--bacteria that adhere to surfaces

and build protective coatings--are at work in the survival of the human pathogen Salmonella. One out of every six Americans becomes ill from eating contaminated food each year with over a million illnesses caused by Salmonella bacteria according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Finding out what makes Salmonella resistant to antibacterial measures could help curb outbreaks. Researchers affiliated with the Fralin Life science Institute discovered that

in addition to protecting Salmonella from heat-processing and sanitizers such as bleach biofilms preserve the bacteria in extremely dry conditions

and again when the bacteria are subjected to normal digestive processes. The study is now online in the International Journal of Food Microbiology

We have discovered that Salmonella in biofilms survive on dried foods much better than previously thought

Outbreaks of Salmonella associated with dried foods such as nuts cereals spices powdered milk and pet foods have been associated with over 900 illnesses in the last five years.

because the dry nature of the product stops microbial growth Most people expect to find Salmonella on raw meats

In moist conditions Salmonella thrive and reproduce abundantly. If thrust into a dry environment they cease to reproduce

Researchers tested the resilience of the Salmonella biofilm by drying it and storing it in dry milk powder for up to 30 days.

Salmonella survived this long-term storage in large numbers but the biofilm Salmonella were more resilient than the free-floating cells treated to the same conditions.

The bacteria's stress response to the dry conditions also made it more likely to cause disease.

Biofilms allowed the Salmonella to survive the harsh acidic environment of the stomach increasing its chances of reaching the intestines where infection results in the symptoms associated with food poisoning.

The next step in the experiment is to test how pigs given R. opacus react to an immune challenge such as Salmonella.

#Poultry vaccination responsible for dramatic fall in Salmonella infectionsmass poultry vaccination programmes introduced to combat Salmonella infections have led to a dramatic fall in the number of cases since the late 1990s according to a researcher at the University of Liverpool.

Salmonella are borne important food pathogens worldwide causing diarrhea vomiting nausea fever and abdominal pain. There are currently around 6 million cases of illness from Salmonella across the EU each year the majority

of which are linked to food items such as eggs chicken beef pork salad vegetables and dairy products. Between 1981 and 1991 the number of salmonella infections rose by 170%in the UK driven primarily by an epidemic of Salmonella enteritidis

which peaked in 1993. A raft of control measures were introduced into the poultry industry including movement restrictions compulsory slaughter

Code of Practicelegislation requiring compulsory slaughter of poultry infected with Salmonella has now been revoked but the mass vaccination of poultry has continued by those breeders subscribing to the Lion Quality Code of Practice

The code of practice requires mandatory vaccination of all young hens destined to lay Lion eggs against Salmonella as well as traceability of hens eggs

Sarah O'brien Professor of Epidemiology and Zoonoses from the University's Institute of Infection and Global Health attributes a dramatic fall in the number of Salmonella cases in humans to this mass vaccination programme in poultry.

We have seen a marked decline in the number of incidents of Salmonella infection shown by two significant studies conducted 10 years apart.

It is probable that no single measure contributed to the decline in Salmonella cases but the relationship between vaccination programmes and the reduction in human disease is compelling

While produce farmers have optimized procedures to prevent the spread of salmonella E coli and other common pathogens and illnesses the listeria outbreak really opened the eyes of a lot of people in produce that sanitation is a very important step

and ripen certain raw milk cheeses also appeared to be protected by a complex microbial biofilm limiting contamination by redoubtable pathogens such as Salmonella Listeria monocytogenes Escherichia coli o157/H7 and Staphylococcus aureus.

Benign bug beats salmonella; tomato eaters winscientists from the U s. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have identified a benign bacterium that shows promise in blocking Salmonella from colonizing raw tomatoes.

Their research is published ahead of print in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. When applied to Salmonella-contaminated tomato plants in a field study the bacterium known as Paenibacillus alvei significantly reduced the concentration of the pathogen compared to controls.

Outbreaks of Salmonella traced to raw tomatoes have sickened nearly 2000 people in the US from 2000-2010 killing three.

Since the millennium this pathogen has caused 12 multistate outbreaks of food-borne illness--more than one each year.

which Salmonella thrives says coauthor Eric W. Brown also of FDA but we knew that

if we could block Salmonella from infecting the tomato plant we could reduce its risk of infecting the person who eats the tomato.

or chemically destroy Salmonella says Zheng. After screening many hundreds of potential biocontrol strains of bacteria that were isolated from farms

and/or destroy Salmonella in our test assays. Many of these were as pathogenic to humans as is Salmonella

but two isolates belonging to the environmentally friendly species P. alvei strongly inhibited growth of Salmonella.

This bacterium also has known no history of human pathology making it a great candidate as a biological control agent says Zheng.

and other crops that have lately been responsible for outbreaks of food-borne Salmonella and E coli.

The same molecular machinery employed by Pseudomonas syringae is used also by a host of microbes to cause diseases that afflict people including salmonella the plague respiratory disease and chlamydia.

These samples were tested for the presence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae a family of gram-negative bacteria that includes Salmonella E coli and Klebsiella.

Probably the best example of this interaction is the discovery that IBS symptoms develop in up to 10 percent of previously healthy subjects after a single episode of gastroenteritis caused by an infection through bacterial pathogens like Salmonella Shighella or Campylobacter

and are not nearly as common as other foodborne illnesses like salmonella and E coli. Still
