Infections
Ingestion of harmful MO w/i a food

B J
Infection is caused when MO is ingested as part of a food
After ingestion → MO attach to GI tract → grow → diarrhea
a
Bacterial infection = Salmonella spp.
Intoxications
l yn
e
Ingestion of a harmful toxin produced w/i a food.
L ov
Intoxication is caused when MO grows in food → toxin → FBI.
Bacterial infection = C. botulinum, S. aureus
r
Others: consumption of chemical – cleaning agent
D
Toxin-mediated infections
Caused when a living organism is consumed with food.
Once the organism is inside the human body, it produces a toxin → FBI.
Bacterial infection = C. perfringens
