ENTEROPATHOGENIC VIBRIOS: A GROWING WORLDWIDE PUBLIC HEALTH RISK ASSOCIATED WITH SEAFOOD PRODUCTS

Members of the genus Vibrio are Gram-negative mobile rods, usually producing oxidase and catalase. Over 100 Vibrio species have been described and around a dozen of these have been demonstrated to cause infections in humans (Codex, 2010; Hartnell et al., 2019). The species most associated with foodborne infections include V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus and V. cholerae (FDA-2012).

CAMPYLOBACTER: A LEADING FOODBORNE PATHOGEN

Campylobacter species are widely distributed in most warm-blooded animals. They are prevalent in food animals such as poultry, cattle, pigs, sheep and ostriches; and in pets, including cats and dogs2. The bacteria have also been found in shellfish. Campylobacter has a low infective dose (less than 500), which means that coming into contact with a few bacteria can cause illness. Patients infected with Campylobacter may experience mild to severe illness.
