Transmission of Enteric and Food-Borne Pathogens | Microbiology

Let us make an in-depth study of the transmission of enteric and food-borne pathogens. Human intestinal tract contains millions of pathogenic and non-pathogenic micro organisms. Thus, the excreta of healthy or diseased individuals constitute the principle source of one or many spe­cies of virus, bacteria, protozoa or helminths. Some­times, some pathogens may be excreted in the in­fected urine (Escherichia coli, [...]
