“…In a similar study in Kenitra, Morocco, 43 foodborne disease outbreaks were reported between 2001 and 2018, affecting 367 poisoned individuals, including 69 hospitalized and 2 death cases. In that study, 25% of the samples revealed the presence of Salmonella (Elkhal et al, 2021). DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.…”

Several studies have been carried out in Morocco on Salmonella contamination in humans, domestic and wild animals, food products, and the environment. This bacterial genus is responsible for several infections and foodborne illnesses worldwide. The epidemiological situation of contamination by Salmonella is worsened by the development of antibiotic resistance to the main antibiotics used in human and veterinary medicine. The purpose of this study was to review the leading research carried out in this field, emphasizing the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics in humans and animals. Although some studies could not demonstrate the presence of Salmonella in the environments studied, the prevalence of contamination remained relatively high in humans, animals, food products, and the environment. The most critical contaminations were observed in poultry farms and poultry meat. Salmonella causes 42.8% of food poisoning cases in Morocco. It is the second most common cause of poisoning after pesticide poisoning. Morocco ranks first in the Middle East and North Africa for human salmonellosis, with a prevalence of 17.9% (1997-2012). Its prevalence in food products, especially those of animal origin, is very high and could reach 52.9% in turkey meat. Food products have been studied more for their contamination by Salmonella species. Meat products accounted for 17.35% of food poisoning cases. This study revealed that the isolation rate of Salmonella from food products of animal origin was dominated by isolations from meat products, with prevalence rates of 41.76 % from red meat and meat products and 25.88% from poultry meat, followed by prevalence rates of 12.44 % from fish products and 11.80 % from eggs. On the coast of Agadir, the incidence rates of Salmonella were 6.8% and 4.1% in sediment and seawater, respectively. This occurrence was 2.38% in the surface waters of Oued Khoumane. The development of resistance, particularly multi-resistance to antibiotics of therapeutic interest in both humans and animals, is alarming, especially with the ease of transmission of the bacterium to humans and facilitates its dissemination. Research findings indicated that 93.02% of isolates of Salmonella from humans, 79.37% of the strains isolated from poultry, and 46.27% of isolates from food products were resistant to at least one antibiotic.

“…This is most likely to occur when an ill person prepares food and doesn't wash their hands before cooking.Meat, eggs, and dairy products are frequently contaminated. Water may also be contaminated with organisms that cause illness [2]. When a case of acute gastroenteritis, presenting with combinations of the main abdominal pain symptoms, diarrhea and vomiting in at least two patients sharing a common meal, then it can be readily associated with the suspicion of an episode of a food poisoning [3].…”

Food poisoning is the disease of toxic or infectious nature resulting or suspected to be resulting from consumption of water or food. There are significantly underestimated cases of foodborne diseases, and relatively few well-investigated outbreaks are revealed, though these often give information on etiological agents and the reason behind contaminations. This retrospective case study of collective food poisoning was designed to the establishment of a database inherent to food poisoning specific for Diyala province / Iraq during the period between 2013-2021. The results show that, between 2013-2021, 5 outbreaks of food poisoning were observed in Diyala province involving 1188 cases (327 hospitalized & 0 deaths). The data in the study will give information on the present situation and epidemiological evolution during the period of the study. Female predominance was shown among the samples included in the study (Sex ratio M/F = 0.85), and (54% of cases were female, and 46% of cases were male), and the age groups which 68% were under 30 years old.62.8% of cases with water contaminated consumption, and 62.8% of cases in Baqubah2 sector. stool culture reports showed growth of different microorganism. Samples of Water contaminated consumption showed growth of E.coli,

Aim The clinical diagnosis, which occurs with various symptoms as a result of consumption of contaminated food, is defined as food poisoning (FP). A large number of people experience FP around the world each year. This report focuses on the clinical and descriptive characteristics of adult cases visiting the emergency department (ED) due to FP. Material and Methods This study was planned as a retrospective examination of adult FP cases who visited a tertiary ED in a 4-year period. Complaints, vital signs, physical examination and laboratory data at the time of the visit were recorded. The treatment given for ED and the ways to recover from ED were also evaluated. Results 61 patients were included. 43 patients (70.5%) were male. Median age was 31 years (min: 18- max: 73). The most common symptom was nausea (n=27, 44.3%). No relationship was detected between length of hospital stay and descriptive data. Most of cases except two (96.7%), were discharged after the treatments administered in the ED. Conclusion FP cases are often young and male. They most often visit ED with complaints of nausea and are often discharged from ED after treatment. Descriptive data is not predictive of outcomes.
