Synopsis: Microorganisms: Bacteria: Gram-positive bacteria: Listeria:

E coli strain 0157, toxoplasma and listeria. Consumers the world over now demand to know where their food comes from

E coli strain 0157, toxoplasma and listeria. Consumers the world over now demand to know where their food comes from

and infection with bacteria called Listeria which are also found in raw milk has been linked with high rates of stillbirths preterm delivery as well as sepsis

which means they can carry pathogens such as Listeria Campylobacter Salmonella Brucella and E coli. Top 7 Germs in Food that Make You Sick Over the past decade consumption of raw milk has resulted in 93 illness outbreaks 1837 illnesses 195 hospitalizations and two deaths according to the Centers for Disease

For example pregnant women unborn fetuses and newborns are 13 to 17 times more likely to develop severe illness because of listeria infection compared with other groups of people studies have shown.

And 20 percent of pregnant women who become infected with Listeria experience a miscarriage or stillbirth according to the AAP.

Two-thirds of infants whose mothers are infected with Listeria develop infections such as pneumonia sepsis or meningitis.

Campylobacter Clostridium botulinum Clostridium perfringens Escherichia coli (E coli) Giardia lamblia Hepatitis a Listeria noroviruses rotavirus Salmonella Shigella Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio vulnificus.

The CDC reports that Listeria infection may cause miscarriage stillbirth preterm labor and illness or death in newborns.

One product called Listshield sold by Intralytix controls Listeria monocytogenes and can be applied directly to poultry meat.#

In experiments with a mouse model of human immune function the scientists vaccinated mice for listeria a common bacterium that causes food-borne illness

at the 2014 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Annual Meeting & Food Expoâ in New orleans. The 28-state listeria outbreak in a Colorado melon crop

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

The research team showed that the microbial combinations present in traditional cheeses were able to to protect them--both in the paste and on the surface--from dangerous pathogens notably Listeria monocytogenes.

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.

when two different strains of Listeria monocytogenes were found in the traditional Austrian curd cheese known as Quargel. 34 people were infected

Listeria is a rod-shaped bacterium highly prevalent in the environment and generally not a threat to human health.

One species however Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis a very dangerous disease. This pathogen can be present in raw milk

In 2009 and 2010 a dairy in Hartberg (Styria Austria) produced Quargel cheese contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes leading to a multinational listeriosis outbreak in Austria Germany

Highest level of operational hygiene essential Listeria expert and co-author Stephan Schmitz-Esser emphasizes the importance of cleanliness in production:

Any products listeria is found in must be recalled immediately. Recalls are very expensive for producers

Austria-wide the Institute for Milk Hygiene Milk Technology and Food Science at the University of Veterinary medicine Vienna offers effective Listeria monitoring and a range of molecular and microbiological examination methods for the food industry.
