Selected Pathogens of Concern to Industrial Food Processors: Infectious, Toxigenic, Toxico-Infectious, Selected Emerging Pathogenic Bacteria

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Principles of Microbiological Troubleshooting in the Industrial Food Processing Environment

Part of the book series: Food Microbiology and Food Safety ((FMFS))

Abstract

This chapter, written by several contributing authors, is devoted to discussing selected microbes of contemporary importance. Microbes from three categories are described by the following: (1) infectious invasive agents like Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter; (2) toxigenic pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Clostridium botulinum; and (3) toxico-infectious agents like enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens. In addition, emerging pathogens, like Cronobacter (Enterobacter) sakazakii, Arcobacter spp., and Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis are also described.

In most cases, the discussion includes a description of the organism itself, economic impact of the organism (due to disease, loss of market share, etc.), disease syndromes/infectious process, infectious dose, reservoirs (where the organism originates in the food processing chain), foods associated with the organism, and the occurrence of the organism in food processing environments.
