bacterial toxins in food pdf

Paralysis of arms, legs, trunk, and respiratory muscles. The CTX toxin (Cholera toxin) is the main virulence factor of V. cholerae O1 (Ogawa, Inaba, and Hikojima serotypes, Classical and El Tor biotypes) and O139; it contributes to cause profuse diarrhea, after an incubation period from 2 h to 5 days; stools have the appearance of rice water, there is dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which can lead to death. The mechanism by which poisoning is caused is not entirely clear yet. It is a joint responsibility for consumers, traders, and governments to work together to implement regulations, enforce laws that support, increase, and sustain food safety. This section will be addressed to some diseases caused by consuming food contaminated with bacterial toxins or microorganisms that produce them. Enterotoxins are thermostable; they differ in toxicity. Ampicillin is only used in pregnant women with isolated listerial bacteremia. Home > The Beta-toxin forms selective pores for monovalent ions in the lipid bilayers, functioning as a neurotoxin capable of producing arterial constriction. Listeriosis can cause fever and diarrhea similar to that caused by other foodborne microorganisms and is rarely diagnosed. In order to maintain an adequate quality control and to minimize the risk of food poisoning, microbial markers can be used; these markers do not represent a potential health risk, however, a large number of them indicate deficiencies in hygiene and sanitary quality of food products; it also leads to a decrease in the shelf-life and could be related to the presence of pathogenic microorganisms. SETs are the main causative agents of food poisoning The use of antibiotics is suggested only when there is severe dehydration. Symptoms appear soon after consuming food contaminated with the preformed toxin. The moulds grow on a variety of different crops and foodstuffs including cereals, nuts, spices, dried fruits, apples and coffee beans, often under warm and humid conditions. A large number of research papers have been looking for substances that may inhibit the effect of bacterial toxins in human tissue; for example, the use of Bi3+ ion to prevent or treat the hemolytic uremic syndrome caused by E. coli producing shiga toxin; this ion can be applied to animals and humans. To reduce the breakdown of food and to prevent foodborne diseases, the proliferation of microorganisms under certain conditions must be controlled, as well as the conditions that must be used to reduce food spoilage to lengthen the time during which physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics must be kept under minimum acceptance parameters. The optimal relative humidity for bacteria is 92% or higher, while yeasts prefer 90% or higher, and fungi thrive if the relative humidity is between 85 and 90%. At this stage, the type of containers and the type of packaging also play an important role; the aforementioned and transport conditions should be chosen based on the characteristics of the food that is being transported [36]. 0000006756 00000 n There are three types of botulism: infant/adult intestinal botulism, wound botulism, and foodborne botulism. %PDF-1.6 % endstream endobj startxref They are more frequent in temperate waters and can be isolated in seafood and fish. Another alternative is the use of chemicals that inhibit the effect of bacterial toxins. Bacterial Toxins Bacterial toxins are typically classified under two major categories: exotoxins or endotoxins. Food safety is a human right and an obligation of all the governments to ensure it; it refers to the preserved quality of food products without organoleptic alterations, the presence of chemical, physical, or biological pathogens, or other undesirable alterations in the products that may affect the consumers health. hn&(dQ8o8kxB The latter constitute a potential risk of any type of contamination; that is why it is necessary to implement measures that prevent the entrance of any type of pests, as well as measures to avoid their nesting and proliferation. hbbd```b``v G@$3 f`5u,n fW$# &S@7-"HYU hbbd``b`kS H_A,` C ]qL\ G People over 65 years of age or immunosuppressed people can develop infection in the bloodstream (sepsis) or in the brain (meningitis or encephalitis). Moreover, B. cereus and V. cholerae are bacteria frequently reported as causative agents of toxicoinfection by food [ 18, 19 ]. Campylobacteriosis, arthritis, meningitis. There are several diseases that human beings can acquire by ingesting some type of pollutants, for example, chemical contamination can lead to acute poisoning or long-term diseases such as cancer. The main microbial markers are aerobic mesophilic, total coliforms, fecal coliforms, Enterococci, E. coli, S. aureus, and lactic acid bacteria [62]. The production of toxins in the digestive tract is associated with sporulation. 3.3.4.2 Bacterial pathogens that grow and/or produce toxin 3.3.4.3 Bacterial pathogens in ingredients added after process controls 1 . The pH for the optimal growth of most microorganisms is close to neutrality (pH = 6.67.5). It is important to know that poisoning is the cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Small doses of enterotoxins can cause the disease; for example, a concentration of 0.5 ng/mL in contaminated chocolate milk has been reported to cause large outbreaks [73]. 0000019764 00000 n Similarly, many vegetables are favored at temperatures near 10C such as potatoes, celery, cabbage, and many others. Food products suffering superficial decomposition by fungi, yeasts, and specific bacteria, should be stored under low RH conditions. By altering the gas atmosphere, it is possible to delay superficial decomposition without lowering the relative humidity [46, 60]. %PDF-1.4 % $b4t\,MZ2)nfd7k`[I.mQ$h,!%x"ombQrYYXL*jM qB mjQ/:1Lyi?p! In general, fungi have the lowest nutrient requirement, followed by Gram-negative bacteria, then yeasts and finally, Gram-positive bacteria, which have the highest requirements [46, 50]. Although it can affect people of any age, the range with the highest incidence goes from 20 to 49 years of age, where up to 48% of the cases can be concentrated. HBL is a hemolysin formed by three components, two protein subunits (L2 and L1), and one B protein; it has hemolytic, cytotoxic, and dermonecrotic effect, and it induces vascular permeability. Likewise, an incubation process must occur prior to the first symptoms. The water available for metabolic activity determines the degree of microbial growth instead of the total moisture content. Main toxins produced by pathogens involved in foodborne diseases and their biological effect. Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria produce soluble protein toxins. Furthermore, foodborne diseases (FBDs) can cause disability; these diseases can be caused by toxins produced by bacteria or other toxic substances in the food, which can cause severe diarrhea, toxic shock syndrome, debilitating infections such as meningitis and even death. After cellular internalization, listeriolysin O (LLO) and two phospholipases mediate the escape of the bacterium from the endocytic vesicle into the cytoplasm, where the microorganism divides and submits the F-actin based on mobility to spread from cell to cell. The contamination of fermented feeds and foods with fungi and mycotoxins is a major food safety issue worldwide. Produced and secreted by a prototoxin that, when it suffers a specific proteolytic cleavage, it acquires its maximum biological activity. Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by certain moulds (fungi) and can be found in food. C. perfringens is an anaerobic bacterium that creates spores that survive in soil, sediments, and areas subject to both human and animal fecal contamination. C. perfringens is classified into five groups (A, B, C, D, and E), due to the different toxins it produces (alpha, beta, epsilon, and iota). This is why elimination of pathogenic microorganisms . Microbial growth is inhibited by a low relative humidity. UNITED KINGDOM, Cecilia Hernndez-Cortez, Ingrid Palma-Martnez, Luis Uriel 0000036312 00000 n Although being effective against a variety of microorganisms, it is a highly oxidizing agent;thus, it cannot be used in food products with high lipid content, as it could accelerate rancidity. Sickness and fatality (death) Economic consequences; Panic/alarm; . Many microbial toxins promote infection and disease by directly damaging host tissues and by disabling the immune system. C. botulinum, is a bacterial species known simply for producing the botulinum toxin. Microorganisms have an optimal range, as well as a minimum and maximum temperature to grow. ;9FHLU U&X +IC;:B&0,W@)W*Aceq$|A!B`.=b&.0|h_PD*.+Vi:naUPapA)b`3]H3 'p Median rate per 100,000 of diarrheal illnesses and deaths by region. When microorganisms are in an environment below or above the neutral level, their ability to proliferate depends on their ability to change the environmental pH to a more appropriate range, since key components like DNA or ATP require a neutral medium [42, 43, 47]. 0000011689 00000 n k:#RH{e {98(xvG!J&S >s?m:7wkFKIPmz The Alpha-toxin is produced by all the five groups. These can be found in different places and their effects depend on the dose and exposure time. The risk group causing FBDs depends on the region, in developing countries such as African regions, South America, and South Asia, pathogens causing diarrheal diseases and the invasive pathogens causing infectious diseases and bacteria are the group that causes FBDs, followed by some cestodes and helminths; nevertheless, African regions, cestodes, and helminths are the group that causes FBDs because health and economic conditions limit proper food handling and preservation [17, 26]. Keep clean: It refers to washing hands before and during food preparation; after going to the toilet; washing and sanitizing surfaces and equipment for food preparation, and to keep them away from insects and animals. f^?c71^]r_?>`it>|^.C?z:EH&UN_^Bt\;9guUGa.RJSE #. These systems also include an adequate waste management and an effective pest control. Fraction B has the function of binding to the receptor of the cell and fraction A is the unit that possesses enzymatic activity, which, depending on the toxin and its mechanism of action, will be the damage to the cell; for example, the Shiga toxin produced by Escherichia coli O157:H7, the Cholera toxin (Ctx) produced by Vibrio cholerae, and the Anthrax toxin produced by Bacillus anthracis [5, 6]. Usually the site of damage caused by an exotoxin indicates the location for activity of that toxin. The main risk factor involved in bacterial food poisoning is food contamination by pathogenic bacteria that produce toxins; such contamination can occur at any time, that is, from the crop, in the case of vegetables or, just before eating them, due to the consumers manipulation; in this way, all the people living on the earth are susceptible to food poisoning. The main standards include microbiological processes, regarding the use of food additives, pesticide use and pest control, as well as, the permissible limits of drugs or hormones used in animal production [66, 99103]. There are also two other groups of toxins, those that alter the cytoskeleton and those with neurotoxic activity; however, some toxins may present activity corresponding to more than one of the groups described in Table1. endstream endobj startxref Microorganisms that require free oxygen are called aerobic microorganisms, while those that thrive in the absence of oxygen are called anaerobic; and those that grow both in presence or absence of free oxygen are known as facultative microorganisms [43, 46, 56]. 0000003636 00000 n %%EOF Some bacterial toxins, such as Botulinum neurotoxins, are the most potent natural toxins known. Food poisoning caused by C. perfringens occurs at any time of the year, but it is more frequent in the last months of the year. These diseases are generally diagnosed based on the patients clinical record or their symptoms [1820]. Thermostable peptide, toxic for the mitochondria when acting as a potassium ionophore. Download Analysis Of Food Toxins And Toxicants full books in PDF, epub, and Kindle. 0000014769 00000 n Ingestion of food contaminated with those bacterial toxins can cause severe cases of food poisoning. Mixture of oil and nonacid garlic, potatoes cooked at high temperatures, and stews. The regulation of immunological signals and the treatment against viral and parasite infections are also applications of immunotoxins. In Group II, the presence of only one gene has been described, that is why there is only one neurotoxin; however, in other studies it has been demonstrated that in Type F strains the toxin has part of Type B and Type E neurotoxins. This study showed a decrease in the number of bacteria in lungs and kidneys of the evaluated mice; mice showed minimal swelling and intact lung tissue. Moreover, B. cereus and V. cholerae are bacteria frequently reported as causative agents of toxicoinfection by food [18, 19]. The Iota-toxin is a member of the binary toxin family, since it is formed by a binding peptide (Ib) necessary for the internalization of the enzymatic peptide (Ia; ADP-ribosyltransferase). . a distinct toxin produced by the bacteria. Use safe water and raw materials: Safe treated water must be used when preparing food; use fresh food products and wash adequately. With this virulence factor, the pathogen can invade the host cell; for example, aerolysin and GCAT protein produced by Aeromonas spp. In general, microorganisms, more specifically bacteria, can proliferate under very different conditions; that is why they can be found in any type of environment. The typical symptoms are flaccid muscle paralysis, sometimes it starts with blurred vision followed by an acute symmetrical decrease of bilateral paralysis that, if untreated, can lead to paralysis of the respiratory and cardiac muscles. 0000024363 00000 n Enterotoxins (A, B, C1, C2, D and E, G, H, I, J). Activation can be catalyzed by proteases such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, and a zinc-dependent metalloproteinase. Group I forms spores that are highly resistant to heat, the Botulinum cook (121C/3 min) given to canned foods with a low content of acid is designed to inactivate them; neurotoxins formed in this group are A, B, F, and H. Group II forms moderately heat-resistant spores, and the neurotoxins formed are B, E, and F. Botulism types A, B, E, and F rarely cause the disease in humans, whereas in animals it is caused by types C and D. Toxins are resistant to proteolytic reactions and to denaturation into the gastric apparatus. Raw, semicooked or recontaminated fish and shellfish after cooking. Ozone is another atmospheric gas with antimicrobial properties, and for decades, it has been used as an agent to lengthen shelf life of certain types of food. Another important measure is the information that producers and suppliers offer to consumers regarding the characteristics and proper handling of prepackaged foods; this is why, generally, food must be packaged and labeled in such a way that the consumer has enough information to handle, store, and prepare the products appropriately without threatening his or her health. An interesting group of toxins are the immunotoxins, which are formed by a portion of antibody and a portion of toxin; the toxin has an intracellular action to kill the target cells. %PDF-1.5 % Nevertheless, food quality must be taken into account when selecting storage temperature. The emetic form has a short onset time of about 1 to 6 hours after consumption of contaminated foods and is caused by the ingestion of a pre-formed toxin that contaminates food prior to eating. This test takes 48 h, and culture of specimens takes from 5 to 7 days. Exotoxins: These are the macromolecules of protein origin, which are produced and later released to the medium by the microorganism. endstream endobj 86 0 obj<> endobj 87 0 obj<> endobj 88 0 obj<>stream endstream endobj 1590 0 obj <>stream 0000003942 00000 n The main food products related to food poisoning caused by S. aureus are chicken and eggs, cakes, pastas, sauces, milk, and its derived products [20]. Staph food poisoning is a gastrointestinal illness caused by eating foods contaminated with toxins produced by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (Staph) bacteria. Food poisoning caused by C. botulinum is less frequent and the epidemiological information about it is scarce; outbreaks of food poisoning caused by this pathogen usually include members of one family, that is, they do not involve a large number of individuals and the main cause of such outbreaks is the consumption of canned food at home [23, 24].

In all stages of the food chain, it is indispensable to use water; hence, this could be the main source of food contamination. Handling and processing of food is also responsible for toxin production. The authors are also grateful to Sofia Mulia for her help in preparing the English version of the manuscript of the chapter. Pre-processed products such as pasteurized milk, should be used as directed and not be used beyond their expiry dates. endstream endobj startxref Within the food chain, food transportation plays an important role in preventing contamination and proliferation of microorganisms in food; thus, it is necessary to consider measures to prevent any type of contamination and to provide an environment to control the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms and the production of bacterial toxins. Other antibiotics that can be used are trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and vancomycin. Fungi tolerate a wide range (0.511.0), but their growth is generally higher in an acid pH (too acid for bacteria and yeast). 0000015210 00000 n For example, in studies by Lai et al., they found that the C. jejuni distal cytolethal toxin can be incorporated to the lipid rafts on the membrane with the Cj-CdtA/CdtC subunit; the Cj-CdtB subunit goes through the cell membrane, it translocates to the interior of the cell and reaches the nucleus. Yeasts can grow in an acid environment and thrive in an intermediate range (4.04.5), although they survive in values between 1.5 and 8.5. Stimulates the adenylyl cyclase allowing the increase of cAMP in epithelial cells, which causes diarrhea. <<7DEC9A989F1F6945960C2C7070B6738B>]>> Generally, poisoning develops with mild symptoms, usually lasting no more than 1 day, but severe cases require hospitalization. This is primarily caused by pathogenic microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) and toxins from natural source and microorganisms. 0000032326 00000 n B. cereus is a ubiquitous microorganism in the environment, and it can easily contaminate any food production and processing system, due to the formation of endospores. It is one of the most concerned diseases by public health programs in the world; it is due to the production of one or more toxins by the bacteria during their growth at permissive temperatures; however, the incubation period of the disease depends on the amount of ingested toxin. In general, simple compounds like amino acids will be used by almost all of the organisms before attacking more complex compounds such as high molecular weight proteins. 1608 0 obj <>stream Listeriosis is a mild disease in pregnant women, but it is severe in fetus and newborns. Phylogenetic studies show evidence of horizontal gene transfer; the production of the dual toxin in Group I and the production of a single toxin in Group II is still not clear. and Graciela Castro-Escarpulli, From Specific Toxic Agents to Novel Rapid and Simplified Techniques for Analysis, Poisoning - From Specific Toxic Agents to Novel Rapid and Simplified Techniques for Analysis, Risk factors and prevention measures associated with food poisoning. L. monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular microorganism widely distributed in nature, capable of surviving both in the soil and the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell. Even though bacteria are good at adapting to the environments they are in, there are certain conditions that promote bacterial growth more than others. It was shown that other bacterial toxins may act as very danger food poisoning substances. As expected, individual factors such as age, gender, place of residence, socioeconomic factors, among others, are crucial in food poisoning acquisition and development [2729]. Yersiniosis, enterocolitis, pseudoappendicitis, mesenteric lymphadenitis, infections in wounds, joints and the urinary tract, and Reiters syndrome. Apart from causing food poisoning, B. cereus can also cause local and systemic infections in immunocompromised patients, neonates, people taking drugs, and patients with surgical or traumatic wounds, or catheters [15]. Knowing and avoiding these optimal conditions can help to prevent bacterial growth, bacterial infections, and food poisoning [3941]. Publishing on IntechOpen allows authors to earn citations and find new collaborators, meaning more people see your work not only from your own field of study, but from other related fields too. 70 0 obj <> endobj endstream endobj 327 0 obj <>/Metadata 19 0 R/Pages 324 0 R/StructTreeRoot 113 0 R/Type/Catalog/ViewerPreferences<>>> endobj 328 0 obj <>/Font<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageC]/XObject<>>>/Rotate 0/StructParents 2/Tabs/S/TrimBox[0.0 0.0 612.0 792.0]/Type/Page>> endobj 329 0 obj <>stream Bacterial intoxications (toxifications), which are To meet the ideal conditions, microorganisms in food grow and produce toxins. They have been reported to be causative agents of outbreaks in blood infections and wounds in immunocompromised patients in hospitals [65, 73]. The most common pests are rodents, flies, and cockroaches. somewhat higher (i.e., several thousand to less than 100,000). WsNZzfO$?|SN.C%qSpEuWm5J+M Chemicals - Fertilizers, Pesticides. As PhD students, we found it difficult to access the research we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access publisher that levels the playing field for scientists across the world. Abstract. Introduction 1.1. The methods can be chemical, with alkaline and acidic detergents; and physical, with heat, turbulent washes, or vacuum washes. H\j@EL`+R#Vsn?lr>v-vc\^(s~kW)XSgg{{xt6v8[]gr. Moreover, brushes or sponges can be used to remove dirt; however, the correct method of use must be considered to ensure efficiency, as well as, not using the same cleaning instrument in areas of processed and unprocessed food. infection acquired from the stick of a contaminated needle. The cytolytic activity of LLO increases with the action of a phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C (PI-PLC), the substrate of which is phosphatidylinositol; and a phosphatidylcholine phospholipase C (PC-PLC), which is a lecithinase with enzymatic activity over phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylethanolamine. Inactivates the ribosomal subunit 60S and inhibits protein synthesis causing the death of susceptible cells. By ingesting contaminated food, toxins are absorbed through the intestinal epithelial lining, and it causes local tissue damage. Therefore, the methods for obtaining and purifying must be improved. Once the contaminated food is ingested and reaches the intestines, the microorganisms get established, colonize, and, if the strain is toxigenic, produce the toxins responsible for the damage. A total of 66% of foodborne diseases is caused by bacteria. It alters the activity of smooth muscle in the intestine. 0000005765 00000 n The enterotoxin can be detected by several methods: bioassays, molecular biology, and immunological techniques. The isolated strains can be genetically characterized by multilocus sequences from the spa or SCCmec gene, and pulsed-field electrophoresis [73]. This allowed Streptococcus, a bacterium normally present in the mouth, to gain access to the blood. The disease can be prevented if the food has been properly cooked; although, there may be a risk of cross-contamination if the cooked food comes in contact with raw and contaminated ingredients, as well as contaminated surfaces [78].
