Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 5CT
Over 1000 people developed severe diarrhea, and at least four died, from a strain of Salmonella enterica in the fall of 2012. Epidemiologists determined that infection resulted from the consumption of contaminated smoked salmon. Based on this chapter, what methods to control microbial growth are available to fishermen, packers, and stores that might have prevented such an outbreak? What other precautions could consumers have taken?

There have been many cases of human infection with Salmonella caused by contact (or ingestion) with raw or undercooked chicken. This is an example of which type of microbial source for foodborne illness?
which option is the answer:
1. Contamination by human microbiota or pathogens during handling & preparation
2. A food animal – infection or colonization during its lifetime
3. Contamination by human or animal feces during growing, harvesting, washing, transport, or storage
4. None of the other four answers are correct
5. Contamination by naturally occurring environmental organisms from soil or other sources
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.
Resistance to antimicrobial agents is more commonly seen in hospital-acquired infections with enteric bacteria than in community-based infections with the same species. Explain why this is so.
