Bacteria
Microbes and Food Safety
Symptoms of foodborne illness
– Diarrhea of more than 3 days’ duration
– Fever of longer than 24 hours duration
– Headache accompanied by muscle stiffness and
fever
– Numbness, muscle weakness, tingling sensations in
the skin
– Rapid heart rate, fainting, dizziness
Majority of food-poisoning cases
– Result of errors consumers make in handling foods
after purchase
– Commercially prepared food is “usually” safe
Food Safety
– Raw meats can contain live, disease-causing
organisms
– Thorough cooking makes them safe
– In the mid-1990s a fast-food restaurant chain in the
Northwest served undercooked hamburgers from
meat contaminated with bacterium E. coli 0157:H7
• 4 people died
• 100s of patrons became seriously ill

• Pathogenic bacteria grow best at human body quickly rate
temperature 37ºC. However the majority will grow
between 15-45ºC 36
• Non-sporing cells of bacteria are killed at 15
temperatures above 60ºC. The length of time
ranges depending on the organism 7

foodborne intoxication
foodborne toxicoinfection
Toxic bacterial food poisoning
Some bacteria grow in food and produce a
toxin within the food which is then consumed
e.g. Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus
aureus.
