European Union - Report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacteria affecting humans, animals and food

Compiled by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the report indicates that resistance to antimicrobials was observed in zoonotic bacteria, such as Salmonella and Campylobacter, which may cause infectious diseases transmissible between animals and humans and which can be found in foods.

Survey of Salmonella populations from swine waste-treatment technologies

The objectives of this field survey were to evaluate the effects of several promising swine waste-management and treatment technologies on reducing Salmonella presence and populations and to characterize the diversity of Salmonella isolates recovered from the waste streams using serotyping and antibiotic-susceptibility analysis.

U.S. Aims to test meat prior to selling

The Obama administration, hoping to prevent recalls, consumer illnesses and even deaths from contaminated meat, will unveil a proposal Tuesday to force companies to delay sending beef, pork and poultry to grocery stores while government inspectors complete tests.

European Union - Salmonella in humans falls for fifth consecutive year, Campylobacteriosis remained the most reported zoonotic disease

Streptococcus suis - Zoonotic epidemic in Asia

Currently, the human risk factors associated with S. suis infection are: 1) Eating raw/undercooked pork meat, 2) Being a farm worker with hog contact or 3) Butchers. To date, there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission of S. suis.

Determination of the viability of Toxoplasma gondii in cured ham using bioassay: influence of technological processing and food safety implications

The consumption of hams cured as described here poses an insignificant risk of acquiring toxoplasmosis. However, additional studies are required to evaluate the safety of ham products cured under different conditions of curing time, salt, and nitrite concentration.

Hepatitis E virus in swine and effluent samples from slaughterhouses in Brazil

With the aim to evaluate the incidence of animals with current infection of HEV, 115 bile samples were collected from three slaughterhouses under inspection by Animal Sanitary Protection Agency of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In parallel, effluent samples were collected from six sewage pipe exit sites of two slaughterhouses.

USA - Annual foodborne illness averages down 15%: CDC

Climate change and animal diseases (I)

With the earth warming up there is evidence of accelerated changes in habitat distribution changes that in turn may be affecting disease patterns and emergence of diseases.

European Union - The Community Summary Report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria from animals and food in the European Union in 2008

In 2008, 25 Member States submitted information on the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacteria to the European Commission and the European Food Safety Authority. In addition, two countries that were not European Union Member States provided information for the report. Assisted by its contractor, the Technical University of Denmark, the European Food Safety Authority analysed all the data, the results of which are published in this Community Summary Report.

Denmark - Stronger action against Salmonella and Campylobacter in food

The government with the Socialists, Socialist People's Party, Danish People's Party, Liberal Party and Unity signed a new four-year agreement on a continued effort to bacteria in food. There is allocated approx. 25 million kroner a year of effort, which is a strengthening relative to the previous action against Salmonella and Campylobacter. At the same time reinforced efforts against antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Direct and indirect transmission of four Salmonella enterica serotypes in pigs

Feed-borne spread of Salmonella spp. to pigs has been documented several times in recent years in Sweden. Experiences from the field suggest that feed-associated serotypes might be less transmittable and subsequently easier to eradicate from pig herds than other serotypes more commonly associated to pigs.

USA - F.S.I.S. starts hog food-safety data collection
