This book was released on 1993-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. coli O157:H7, since its discovery as a human foodborne pathogen in 1982, has been recognized as a disease agent causing hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura. Since E. coli O157:H7 is a more environmentally sensitive organism than other E. coli strains, and since foods containing low numbers of cells have caused illness, there have been difficulties in isolating and identifying the organism from food. The proceedings of this workshop document the present methods to detect E. coli O157:H7 and other verotoxigenic organisms in food. Data gathered from surveys of animals at the slaughterhouse, retail meats and ready-to-eat foods in the US and Canada are also presented. In addition, plans for further methodology research, including collaborative studies; and recommendations concerning the best procedures for detection of these pathogens are outlined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Verocytotxin producing Escherichia coli (VTEC), and in particular, strains of serogroup o157, have emerged as significant pathogens causing a range of severe and potentially fatal illnesses. The European Union has recognised the threat posed by E. coli O157:H7 and the need to devise control strategies based on an understanding of VTEC pathogenicity, transmission, survival and growth. It also acknowledges the imortance of informing farmers, veterinarians, food producers and health authorities so that each of these groups can act appropriately to reduce the overall hazards posed by these organisms. To contribute to the development and dissemination of effect control strategies, the European Commission funded a Concerted Action Project "A European study on animal, food, and biomedical aspects of verocytotoxigenic E. coli including serotype O157:H7, an emerging pathogen" (CT98-3935) within the Agriculture and Agro-industry Framework IV Research Programme (1998-2001). This book, compiled under the auspices of the above project, integrates contributions from project participants and invited contributor, to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on VTEC. It will be invaluable to current workers in this area, and those seeking an effective introduction to research on this important pathogen

Book excerpt: USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is formulating risk assessments to identify important foodborne hazards; evaluate potential strategies to prevent, reduce, or eliminate those hazards; assess the effects of different mitigation strategies; and identify research needs. These risk assessments, in brief, empirically characterize the determinants of the presence or level of microbial contamination in vulnerable foodstuffs at various points leading up to consumption. One of the initial efforts in the undertaking is a risk assessment of the public health impact of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef. In addition to soliciting public input, FSIS asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a committee of experts to review the draft and offer recommendations and suggestions for consideration as the agency finalizes the document. This report presents the results of that review.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief will review the methods that are currently available for the detection, isolation, and typing of pathogenic E. coli with a particular focus on foodborne diseases caused by the Shiga toxigenic E. coli group, which have been implicated in a number of significant outbreaks in recent years. Pathogenic forms of E. coli can cause a variety of diarrheal diseases in hosts due to the presence of specific colonization and virulence factors, and pathogenicity-associated genes, which are generally not present in other E. coli. Six pathotypes of pathogenic E. coli are recognized (Shiga toxigenic E. coli, Enteropathogenic E. coli, Enterotoxigenic E. coli, Enteroinvasive E. coli, Enteroaggregative E. coli and Diffusely Adherent E. coli) and certain strains among these groups are major public health concerns due to the severity of disease that they can cause. Methods to detect and isolate these pathogens from a variety of sources are constantly evolving. In addition, the accumulation of knowledge on these pathogens allows for improved intervention strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. coli serotype O157: H7 is a rare variety of E. coli, a normal inhabitant of the intestines of all animals, including humans. The pathogen produces large quantities of one or more related potent toxins, called Shiga toxins, which cause severe damage to the lining of the intestine and to other target organs, such as the kidneys. E. coli O157: H7 was first recognized as a cause of illness in 1982 during an outbreak of severe bloody diarrhea that was later traced to contaminated hamburgers. It has since been implicated in a number of outbreaks of intestinal distress. The most severe outcome in the general population is typically hemorrhagic colitis, a prominent symptom of which is bloody diarrhea. Some victims, particularly the very young, may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome. Eating meat, particularly ground beef, that has not been cooked sufficiently to kill E. coli O157: H7 is thought to be the primary cause of infection. Among other known sources of infection are consumption of contaminated sprouts, lettuce, salami, and unpasteurized milk and fruit juice; swimming in or drinking contaminated water; and contact with the stools of infected animals or people

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The control of E.coli O157 has been at the heart of the environmental health practitioner's professional agenda since recent outbreaks of the disease in the UK. The key to controlling the organism lies in ensuring the microbiological safety of food, drinking and recreational water, the prevention of direct spread from animals and from person to person, as well as in the early recognition and prompt control of outbreaks. E.coli places VTEC O157 in context, outlining its emergence and background, and relating it to other E.coli, VT producing organisms and enteric pathogens. This book explains how VTEC O157 causes illness, and assesses the practical implications of its virulence properties. It outlines the way VTEC O157 should be diagnosed, and how the microbiological results can be interpreted. Finally, risk assessment and control strategies are thoroughly debated and summarised. E.coli is aimed at health professionals who need to be fully informed about the sources and effects of the organism in order to provide advice and enforce legislation at local level. It also provides non-specialist professionals such as students or food industry managers with a practical introduction to the terminology, methods and issues surrounding the diagnosis and control of Ecoli.

Book excerpt: Food safety regulators face a daunting task: crafting food safety performance standards and systems that continue in the tradition of using the best available science to protect the health of the American public, while working within an increasingly antiquated and fragmented regulatory framework. Current food safety standards have been set over a period of years and under diverse circumstances, based on a host of scientific, legal, and practical constraints. Scientific Criteria to Ensure Safe Food lays the groundwork for creating new regulations that are consistent, reliable, and ensure the best protection for the health of American consumers. This book addresses the biggest concerns in food safetyâ€"including microbial disease surveillance plans, tools for establishing food safety criteria, and issues specific to meat, dairy, poultry, seafood, and produce. It provides a candid analysis of the problems with the current system, and outlines the major components of the task at hand: creating workable, streamlined food safety standards and practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the United States, it has been estimated that 60 deaths and 73,000 illnesses are caused by Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection annually (Gavin et al., 2004). Multiple effects have been known to occur with the onset of infection from E. coli O157:H7 in which some of these can become life-threatening. Escherichia coli O157:H7 is defined as a Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli strain (STEC). This microbial pathogen is a gram-negative bacillus organism that is motile, non-sorbitol fermenting, and [Beta]-glucuronidase negative. The infectious dose of E. coli O157:H7 can be as low as ten cells (Food and Drug Administration, 2009). Consumption of contaminated food, mainly undercooked ground beef and non or incorrectly pasteurized milk, are the primary sources of E. coli O157:H7 infection in human. Cattle, in particular, are considered chief asymptomatic reservoirs for this pathogen. Carried in their gut, feces, and milk, cattle carry this Shiga toxin-producing E. coli in ranges from 10[superscript]2 to 10[superscript]5 CFU/g. Although colonized with E. coli O157:H7, cattle and other ruminants show no adverse side effects from the pathogenic bacteria. There is also a difference in the prevalence of this pathogen between human and cattle. There has been a low incidence of illness caused by E. coli O157:H7 in humans when compared to the high prevalence of E. coli 057:H7 found in cattle and their environment. It has been discovered, through population genetic analysis, that E. coli O157:H7 and other O157:H- isolates make up a clone complex. In spite of the clonal nature of E. coli O157:H7 and other O157:H[superscript]- isolates, there are significant characteristics showing variability between the clone complex. These variability aspects can possibly account for the rapid divergence of E. coli strains including the recently discovered divergence of E. coli O157:H7 in to two separate lineages. Other possible reasons for a non-linear relationship between cattle prevalence and human infection include diversity of the Shiga Toxin-Encoding bacteriophage and receptors in cattle verses human, and finally the difference between the production of Locus of Enterocyte Effacement (LEE) in both human and cattle lineages.
