Bệnh do Thực phẩmCâu 33 / 320
An intoxication (like Staphylococcus aureus food poisoning) differs from an infection because:
a.It requires the bacteria to keep multiplying in the body
b.The illness is caused by a toxin already present in the food, so symptoms come on quickly
c.It is only caused by viruses
d.It cannot be prevented by good hygiene
Giải thích
In an intoxication, the person eats a toxin already produced in the food (for example by Staphylococcus aureus, often introduced by bare-hand contact), so symptoms appear quickly, sometimes within hours. An infection requires living pathogens to multiply in the body, with a slower onset. Good hygiene, especially handwashing and no bare-hand contact, helps prevent Staph intoxication.
