“…Considering the progress of food poisoning starting with food contamination–transmission–human infection, focusing on animals as possible contamination sources (VET) or the influence of PFPs on humans (ID) is also critical in prioritizing PFPs. Many previous studies have demonstrated the close association between animal health and FS (Hashimoto et al., 2023; Haulisah et al., 2021; McMillan et al., 2016; Rich et al., 2018). The results of these studies could explain the increased focus of VET experts on the category “Animal/Vector transmission” in evaluating bacteria.…”

Frequent foodborne illnesses with unknown causative agents highlight the need to explore zoonotic potential foodborne pathogens (PFPs). An effective PFP prioritization tool is indispensable, especially after experiencing the recent pandemic caused by zoonotic SARS‐CoV‐2. Risk information on pathogens (excluding 30 known foodborne pathogens) provided by governmental and international organizations was reviewed to generate a list of PFPs. Risk‐ranking of PFPs was conducted based on a literature review of food poisoning or detection cases, and the ranks were determined with a decision tree. PFPs were prioritized by infectious disease (ID), veterinary medicine (VET), and food safety (FS) experts through a pre‐ and postpandemic Delphi survey, and key criteria in their decisions were illuminated. Among 339 PFPs, 32 rank‐1 PFPs were involved in the foodborne outbreak(s). Discrepancies in opinions on prioritization between experts in different fields deepened after the pandemic. Only VET and FS experts valued the plausibility of foodborne transmission in evaluating bacteria and viruses, and a significant correlation between their selection of PFPs was found (p < .05). The impact of the pandemic induced all fields to focus more on human transmission and severity/fatality in prioritizing viruses, and only FS experts emphasized the plausibility of foodborne transmission after the pandemic. In contrast to prioritizing bacteria or viruses, ID and VET experts are unusually focused on foodborne transmission when prioritizing parasites. Criteria of consensus deduced by interdisciplinary experts with different interests and the criteria directly related to foodborne transmission should be acknowledged for adequate PFP prioritization.

“…Cũng trong một nghiên cứu khác được thực hiện tại Iran trên đối tượng là rau khô trong năm 2021, Ghourchian và cộng sự báo cáo 9,3% (n = 140) nhiễm C. perfringens [20]. Nghiên cứu của Hashimoto và cộng sự về sự hiện diện của C. perfringens trong đất bám trên bề mặt củ khoai tây thu thập từ 6 vùng của 14 tỉnh tại Nhật Bản, cho thấy 25/30 mẫu chứa C. perfringens [21]. Nghiên cứu này của Hashimoto và cộng sự cũng có thể được xem như là một minh chứng khoa học lý giải cho nguyên nhân các mẫu rau nhiễm vi khuẩn C. perfringens; Các loại rau có thể bị lây nhiễm vi khuẩn C. perfringens từ đất trồng.…”

The genus Clostridium is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium. Most species of Clostridium spp. usually are found in soil, water, dead plants, animal carcasses, and play an important role in the decomposition of substances in nature. Raw meat and fresh vegetable are more likely to be contaminated with spores or vegetative cells of the genus Clostridium. The study results showed that the percentage of samples contaminated with raw meat and leafy vegetables collected at markets in Dong Da, Ha Dong and Hoang Mai districts infected with C. perfringens was 26.67% (n = 150) and 26.82% (n = 220). The percentage of raw meat and leafy vegetable samples contaminated with C. difficile was very low with 6.00% (n = 150) and 0.9% (n = 220), respectively. Gene amplification reactions revealed the presence of cpa toxin gene in all C. perfringens strains and detected 02 C. difficile strains carrying the tcdA gene.
