Foodborne Illness第 7 / 240 题
A Bronx burger spot serves a ground-beef patty cooked to only 120°F. A child develops bloody diarrhea and later hemolytic uremic syndrome. Which pathogen is most likely responsible?
a.Vibrio vulnificus
b.Norovirus
c.Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (E. coli O157:H7)
d.Staphylococcus aureus
解析
Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), such as O157:H7, is associated with undercooked ground beef and can cause bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome, especially in children. NYC requires ground meat be cooked to 158°F to destroy it. Norovirus and Staph cause vomiting-type illness, and Vibrio is tied to raw shellfish.
