    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on food-borne diseases. The most commonly recognized food-borne infections are those caused by the bacteria Campylobacter, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli. Some food-borne diseases are caused by the presence of a toxin in food that was produced by a microbe in that food. After disease-causing microbes are swallowed, the symptoms of illness appear at the end of the incubation period. Food-borne illnesses are characterized by diarrhea or vomiting.
