Abstract (2. Language):
Food-borne infections are caused by bacteria present in food. If bacteria become
numerous and the food is consumed, bacteria may continue to grow in intestines and cause
illness. Salmonella, Campylobacter, hemorrhagic E. coli and Listeria all cause infections. Food
intoxication results from consumption of toxins (or poisons) produced in food by bacterial
growth. Toxins released by bacteria cause illness in human beings. Common kinds of bacteria
that produce toxins include Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium botulinum. In the case of
Clostridium perfringens, illness is caused by toxins released in the gut after consumption of
huge numbers of vegetative cells.
