Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listeria monocytogenes is an important Gram-positive foodborne pathogen responsible for causing diseases with a high mortality rate in the elderly, pregnant women, neonates, and immunocompromised populations. L. monocytogenes is ubiquitously present in nature and has been isolated from various types of foods. It is especially a challenge in ready-to-eat (RTE) or minimally processed foods that support listerial growth. DNA-based detection and molecular subtyping methods provide important resources for tracking L. monocytogenes contamination throughout the RTE food chain. Combinations of interventions, such as testing and sanitation of food contact surfaces, control of storage temperatures and periods, and use of growth inhibitors in RTE foods that support L. monocytogenes growth are suggested to control L. monocytogenes contamination in the RTE food chain. In addition, a better understanding of the ecology and biology of L. monocytogenes, with a focus on virulence and stress response systems that facilitate transmission through diverse environments encountered by L. monocytogenes, will further facilitate the control of this important foodborne pathogen.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter reviews issues related to the occurrence and growth of Listeria monocytogenes in food processing and food service environments. L. monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen with the capacity to contaminate raw or minimally processed foods such as chilled ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. The consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can result in a disease known as listeriosis among vulnerable groups of people such as pregnant women and fetuses, newborns, adults between the ages of 65 and 75, and people with weakened immune systems. L. monocytogenes is ubiquitous and has been isolated from soil, vegetation, sewage, water, animal feed, fresh and frozen meat including poultry, slaughterhouse wastes and the feces of healthy animals and humans. The bacterium is both acid tolerant and salt tolerant. It is able to grow at refrigerator temperature, and is therefore often associated with the consumption of raw or minimally processed and often chilled RTE foods. L. monocytogenes is able to form biofilms on food processing and preparation surfaces, which protects it from antimicrobial action. Continuous education of vulnerable groups regarding food safety will increase their awareness of the importance of practicing safer food handling practices such as hand washing and safe storage of RTE foods as a means to prevent listeriosis.

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Medicine - Epidemiology, grade: 1, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: Listeria monocytogenes remains to be one of the most leading causes of food-borne illnesses. It has become a serious problem in food manufacturing plants owing to its food poisoning capability which threatens the health of food products’ consumers, especially in the United States where food processing occur at a high magnitude compared to other parts of the world. Stephan and Jemmi (2006) report “listeriosis ranks among the most frequent causes of death due to food-borne illness. L. monocytogenes infections are responsible for the highest hospitalization rates (91%) amongst known food-borne pathogens and have been linked to sporadic episodes and large outbreaks of human illness worldwide”. This is attributable to its high case fatality, and this is probably the principal reason as to why L. monocytogenes is regarded as one of the most significant food-associated pathogen. This Gram-positive bacterium causes human listeriosis and contamination with L. monocytogenes has been one of the principal microbiological causes of processed food recalls, primary in regard to seafood, poultry, meat and dairy products such as milk and cheese. Research report indicates that the increased pathogenicity of L. monocytogenes is enhanced by its adaptability to food-processing environments. For instance, this bacterium can thrive and multiply under refrigeration conditions. It has also been found to thrive in drains in food processing plants. Moreover, L. monocytogenes ability to form biofilms enhances its colonization, distribution and adaptation to a wide range of environmental conditions including adverse temperatures and PH ranges. Therefore, this paper will discuss the detection and identification of L. monocytogenes, and present comprehensive implementation of Listeria intervention strategies to control contamination of food products with the food-borne pathogen.

This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization of the food supply has created conditions favorable for the emergence, reemergence, and spread of food-borne pathogens-compounding the challenge of anticipating, detecting, and effectively responding to food-borne threats to health. In the United States, food-borne agents affect 1 out of 6 individuals and cause approximately 48 million illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations, and 3,000 deaths each year. This figure likely represents just the tip of the iceberg, because it fails to account for the broad array of food-borne illnesses or for their wide-ranging repercussions for consumers, government, and the food industry-both domestically and internationally. A One Health approach to food safety may hold the promise of harnessing and integrating the expertise and resources from across the spectrum of multiple health domains including the human and veterinary medical and plant pathology communities with those of the wildlife and aquatic health and ecology communities. The IOM's Forum on Microbial Threats hosted a public workshop on December 13 and 14, 2011 that examined issues critical to the protection of the nation's food supply. The workshop explored existing knowledge and unanswered questions on the nature and extent of food-borne threats to health. Participants discussed the globalization of the U.S. food supply and the burden of illness associated with foodborne threats to health; considered the spectrum of food-borne threats as well as illustrative case studies; reviewed existing research, policies, and practices to prevent and mitigate foodborne threats; and, identified opportunities to reduce future threats to the nation's food supply through the use of a "One Health" approach to food safety. Improving Food Safety Through a One Health Approach: Workshop Summary covers the events of the workshop and explains the recommendations for future related workshops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food safety awareness is at an all time high, new and emerging threats to the food supply are being recognized, and consumers are eating more and more meals prepared outside of the home. Accordingly, retail and foodservice establishments, as well as food producers at all levels of the food production chain, have a growing responsibility to ensure that proper food safety and sanitation practices are followed, thereby, safeguarding the health of their guests and customers. Achieving food safety success in this changing environment requires going beyond traditional training, testing, and inspectional approaches to managing risks. It requires a better understanding of organizational culture and the human dimensions of food safety. To improve the food safety performance of a retail or foodservice establishment, an organization with thousands of employees, or a local community, you must change the way people do things. You must change their behavior. In fact, simply put, food safety equals behavior. When viewed from these lenses, one of the most common contributing causes of food borne disease is unsafe behavior (such as improper hand washing, cross-contamination, or undercooking food). Thus, to improve food safety, we need to better integrate food science with behavioral science and use a systems-based approach to managing food safety risk. The importance of organizational culture, human behavior, and systems thinking is well documented in the occupational safety and health fields. However, significant contributions to the scientific literature on these topics are noticeably absent in the field of food safety.
