Foodborne Illness第 10 / 240 题
Shigella, one of the Big 6 pathogens, is commonly transmitted by which route?
a.Eating properly canned low-acid vegetables
b.Food handled by an infected worker with poor hand hygiene, and by flies contacting feces
c.Inhaling airborne spores from moldy bread
d.Drinking pasteurized milk
解析
Shigella spreads by the fecal-oral route: infected workers who fail to wash their hands, and flies that move between feces and food. Good hand hygiene, worker exclusion, and pest control are the main defenses. It is not airborne, and properly canned or pasteurized foods are not typical sources.
