All of the following pertain to listeriosis, except
1) intrauterine infection usually results in fetal death.
2) enterotoxin of the organism causes symptoms.
3)
it causes a serious septicemia and meningitis in the elderly,
immunocompromised, and infants.
U 4) it causes symptoms of fever, diarrhea, and sore throat.
5) adequate pasteurization and thorough cooking of food can improve
prevention.
Why is listeriosis a serious problem even with refrigerated foods?

- The Listeria outbreak during 2017 and 2018 in SA was attributed to the consumption of deli products such as polony and viennas. In your view, what are possible factors attributed to the outbreak?arrow_forwardThis pathogen is usuall foodborne and causes a mostly asymptomic disease. The most common foods associated with it are deli meats and unpasteurized dairy products. It rarely cause meningitis and spsis. It is mainly of concern because it can lead to still birth.

- Why does Helicobacter pylori cause ulceractions in the lining of the Stomach? 1)The microbes secrete a toxin that prevents the host from detecting invasion of the microbe and thus allows it to thrive in the stomach and damage the host cells. 2)After invasion of the microbe in the cells lining the stomach, they are no longer able to produce mucous to protect the host cells from acid erosion 3)The microbe produces an enzyme that causes the cell to produce potent digestive enzymes that erode the stomach lining. 4)Once the microbe has entered the stomach, it releases digestive enzymes that degrade the mucous secreting cells.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between food infection and foodintoxication? Into which category does listeriosis fall?arrow_forwardConsumption of vacuum-packaged refrigerated hotdogs has been frequently incriminated with listeriosis although the internal temperature used for cooking the raw products (160°F) is high enough to kill the pathogen. Discuss the possible sources of the pathogen in the cooked products.arrow_forward
