Food-bome illnesses caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria, and Escherichia coli have hecome a major health concern in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year, E. coli in contaminated foods infects 20 000 people in the United States and that 500 people die. E. coli has been responsible for outbreaks of illness from contaminated ground beef, fruit juices, lettuce, and alfalfa sprouts. [Pg.573]

Salmonella and Listeria are a source of numerous food borne illness. As a result, a lot of attention has been focused on these microorganisms. The effort in the Salmonella area focused on obtaining antibodies which can detect several serotypes (14-16, 61,64, 90) and shortening the assay time from 3-4 days to 1-2 days by use of more sensitive formats and enrichment protocols (74, 75, 91,92). Numerous immunoassay kits for Salmonella were developed, such as the Salmonella-Tek (74, 75), Tecra Salmonella (93) and Bio-Enza Bead (94), to name a few. More information on kits is given in section 2.9. Additional information is available for Salmonella, Listeria and other microbiological contaminants and toxins (see Table 1) in review articles and books (5, 7,11-13, 88,95-99). [Pg.363]

The most recent estimates from the CDC in the United States suggest that there are 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths each year from food-borne disease. Surprisingly, the actual pathogen is identified in less than 20% of the illnesses. In other words, known pathogens account for an estimated 14 million illnesses, 60,000 hospitalizations, and 1,800 deaths. Of the known pathogens, Salmonella, Listeria,... [Pg.296]
