Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
From 1998-2008, 1,229 foodborne outbreaks caused by B. cereus, C. perfringens, S. aureus were reported in the United States; 39% were reported with a confirmed etiology. Vomiting was commonly reported in B. cereus (median: 75% of cases) and S. aureus outbreaks (median: 87%), but rarely in C. perfringens outbreaks (median: 9%). Meat or poultry dishes were commonly implicated in C. perfringens (63%) and S. aureus (55%) outbreaks, while rice dishes were commonly implicated in B. cereus outbreaks (50%). Errors in food processing and preparation were commonly reported (93%), regardless of etiology; contamination by a food worker was only common in S. aureus outbreaks (55%). Public health interventions should focus on these commonly reported errors to reduce the occurrence of outbreaks caused by B. cereus, C. perfringens, and S. aureus in the United States. |
