Abstract:Objective To study the relationship and molecular characteristics of a non-toxic ogawa serotype Vibrio cholerae food isolate with food and clinical isolates at home and abroad.Methods Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and high-throughput sequencing was applied to obtain virulent genes distribution and genome sequence. Bioinformatic methods were used to identify their multi-locus sequencing typing (MLST) types. One hundred and one isolates genomes were mapped to reference genome Vibrio cholerae N16961 to obtain the single nucletiode variant (SNV). All alignment was applied to construct the evolutionary tree after removing recombination. Comparative genome analysis was applied to the genes presence and absence in food isolates and close strains.Results The food isolate was a cholera toxin negative and toxin-coregulated pilus positive (CNTP) strain of Vibrio cholerae. The MLST type was ST1480 which belonged to the same clonal complex of the ST75 CNTP strain prevalent in Hangzhou. It was in the branch of L3b.1 in the phylogenic tree, and highly homologous to clinical isolates in 2011 (HZ11-1, HZ11-2). After removing the recombination, there were only 26 different SNVs.Conclusion The food isolate was highly close to the clones of the CNTP Vibrio cholerae L3b.1 branch in Hangzhou. The source of infection in the sporadic cases in Hangzhou may be related to the contamination of reptile so that the disinfection of its breeding sites and sales sites should be strengthen.

Abstract:Objective To analyze the pathogenic characteristics of Salmonella senftenberg isolate causing food poisoning in Xinxiang in 2021.Methods Epidemiological investigation of food poisoning event was performed. Pathogenic bacteria were separated and identified from 11 samples. Ten Salmonella isolates were subjected to serotyping, drug susceptibility testing, detection of characteristic gene fragments (mogA, sseL, mgtC, bcfA, araB) of 5 virulence island (SPIs) and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing analysis.Results Serum antigenic formulas of all Salmonella isolates were 1,3,19;g,s,t Salmonella senftenberg. All Salmonella isolates were resistant to cefazolin, kanamycin, gentamicin and amikacin. Among them, two isolates from the patient feces were also resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline,doxycycline,chloramphenicol,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. PFGE clustering analysis showed that there was no difference in the bands among the 10 strains (2 cases strains, 5 food strains, and 3 environmental strains), suggesting that they were highly homologous. Five Salmonella pathogenicity island characteristic gene fragments were detected among 10 isolates.Conclusion Salmonella senftenberg caused the food poisoning event. The isolates carried 5 Salmonella pathogenicity island characteristic gene fragments and 2 isolates exhibited multi-drug resistance. Relevant departments should pay more attention to this issue.

Abstract:Wheat, corn and rice, as the main body of grain production in China, are easily contaminated by trichothecenes (TCT). Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the pollution status of TCT and assess the exposure risk of residents from these three kinds of grains and their related products. This study reviews the published studies about TCT pollution and exposure risk assessment of residents from wheat, corn, rice and their related products in China from 2011 to 2021. It is found that most of the grains and related products were polluted by TCT, and excessive TCT content was found in some studies. From a regional point of view, the pollution in the South was more serious than that in the North. The pollution of wheat and its related products was more serious than that of corn, rice and their related products. Exposure risk assessment of residents was mainly aimed at deoxynivalenol and its derivatives. The result showed that the average exposure level of residents in most areas was within the acceptable range, but some people were at risk. In the future, the prevention and control of all kinds of TCT in grains and related products should be strengthened, as well as the exposure risk assessment of residents.

Abstract:Objective To provide reference for guiding consumption and carrying out safety supervision, the exposure of chloramphenicol (CAP) residues in commercially available animal-origin foods collected from Shenzhen local trading markets and supermarkets were assessed.Methods Five hundred and eleven samples were collected in Shenzhen City from 2018 to 2019. The CAP residues was determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and dietary exposure was estimated by point assessment method. Exposure risk for different populations was characterized by the margin of exposure (MOE) values.Results No chloramphenicol was detected in 160 livestock and 60 poultry meat samples, and the detection rate of CAP was 26.80% in 291 aquatic samples, including shellfish, shrimp and fish. The CAP concentration in shellfish was in the range of 0.05-205.00 μg/kg, the mean concentration was 13.71 μg/kg, and the detection rate was 37.21% (64/172). The CAP concentration in shrimp was in the range of 0.05-2.20 μg/kg, the mean concentration was 0.20 μg/kg, and the detection rate was 13.64% (64/172). The CAP concentration in fish was in the range of 0.05-1.90 μg/kg, the mean concentration was 0.11 μg/kg, and the detection rate was 11.34% (11/97). The detection rate of CAP in all animal-origin samples was 15.26% (78/511). The result of dietary exposure assessment showed that the Chronic Daily Intake (CDI) values for average population for Shenzhen residents was 2.06×10-3 μg/kg·BW, and the MOE value was 485; the CDI value for 5th percentile was 4.85×10-5 μg/kg·BW, and the MOE value for was above 10 000; the CDI values for 50th and 95th percentile were 6.72×10-4 μg/kg·BW and 9.25×10-3 μg/kg·BW, respectively, and the MOE values were both below 10 000, suggesting some health risks.Conclusion Excessive consumption of animal-origin foods might lead to some health risk. In order to reduce the exposure risk, the population with higher exposure should limit their consumption, especially aquatic products. Meanwhile, the relevant departments should strengthen supervision and management of animal-origin foods quality and safety, and pay close attention to this problem.

Abstract:Objective To explore the association between dietary behavior and weight change in medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, and provide the scientific basis for their nutrition and health improvement.Methods From May to July 2022, 1 487 doctors and nurses from 12 COVID-19 designated hospitals in Northeast China were randomly recruited to participate in the survey. After excluding invalid questionnaires, 1 352 valid questionnaires were obtained. Data were collected by self-compiled general questionnaire, eating behavior indexes and emotional eating scale, and analyzed by statistical methods such as analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression model.Results Among the medical staff of COVID-19 designated hospitals, there were 485 (35.9%) individuals with stable weight (±3%); individuals with substantial weight loss (<5%), moderate weight loss (3%-5%), moderate weight gain (3%-5%), substantial weight gain (>5%) were 8.2%(111/1 352), 22.7%(307/1 352), 23.6%(319/1 352) and 9.6%(130/1 352), respectively. The results of ANOVA showed that there were significant differences of irregular diet, unbalanced nutrition, high oil diet, high salt diet, high carbohydrate diet, beverage intake, and emotional eating behaviors between different weight change groups (P<0.05). However, the drinking behavior between the five groups did not get statistical significance (P>0.05). The results of multivariate linear regression indicated that irregular diet, high carbohydrate diet, beverage intake, emotional eating and income were risk factors of weight change (P<0.05); marriage and exercise behavior were protective factors of weight change (P<0.05).Conclusion The weight management situation of Chinese medical staff was unfavourable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unhealthy eating behavior was the main risk factor for weight change in medical staff, and a healthy lifestyle could effectively control and maintain weight. Medical staff should improve their dietary patterns and weight management, which benefits their medical service quality and patient safety.

Abstract:Objective To provide the scientific basis for control and prevention of bacterial foodborne diseases, the epidemiology characteristics of bacterial foodborne disease outbreaks in Jiangxi Province from 2015 to 2019 were analyzed.Methods The descriptive analysis was conducted on the data of bacterial foodborne disease outbreaks in Jiangxi Province reported through “Foodborne Disease Outbreak Reporting System” from 2015 to 2019.Results A total of 161 bacterial foodborne disease outbreaks were reported in Jiangxi Province from 2015 to 2019, including 1 682 patients and 794 hospitalizations. The average annual incidence was 0.73/100 000. And the most incidents occurred from May to October. Salmonella and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were the main pathogen factor of bacterial foodborne diseases, and the number of incidents and patients accounted for 45.4% (73/161) and 56.4% (949/1 682) of the total, respectively. Meat and meat products were the main causing food. Families, hotels or restaurants, rural banquets, school and office canteens were the main places of bacterial foodborne disease outbreaks. Improper processing and storage, contamination or spoilage of raw material were the main cause of outbreaks.Conclusion Bacterial foodborne diseases is still a major public health problem in Jiangxi Province. In high-incidence seasons, supervision should be targeted at key foods and places, education and training should be targeted at the relevant personnel to strengthen the awareness of family food safety and reduce the occurrence of bacterial foodborne diseases.

Abstract:Objective To summarize the characteristics of foodborne diseases in Guangdong Province in 2020, and to provide scientific basis for prevention and control strategies.Methods The data from January 2020 to December 2020 in the National Foodborne Surveillance Reporting System (CFSA) were with descriptive epidemiological analysis, conducted according to the three distribution and pathogenic factors of the disease. SPSS 21.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results In 2020, a total of 27 397 cases of foodborne diseases were reported, with an average annual incidence of 0.24‰ (27 397/115 210 000), a hospitalization rate of 10.66%(2 920/27 397), and no deaths. The incidence in the Pearl River Delta region was 0.28‰ (18 303/6 447 million). The hospitalization rate was 6.88% (1 259/18 303), and the incidence rate in eastern and northwestern Guangdong was 0.18‰ (9 094/5 074 million), and the hospitalization rate was 18.26% (1 661/9 094). The main symptoms of the cases were diarrhea, and the ratio of male to female was close to 1∶1. The number of cases in each age group was 31.51% (8 633/27 397) in the 31-59 age group. Among the occupational population, children living in the diaspora accounted for 16.86% (4 620/27 397), while students accounted for 16.48% (4 515/27 397). The peak of reported cases was from August to December. The main food exposed cases were mixed food 7 392 cases (27.08%, 7 392/27 297), meat and meat products 4 511 cases (16.53%, 4 511/27 297), grain and its products 3 734 cases (13.68%,3 734/27 297); The main feeding places were 65.53%(17 954/27 397) at home and 15.03%(4 117/27 397) at restaurants. Among 4 395 cases, 1 171 were positive for pathogenic bacteria, and the overall positive rate of pathogenic bacteria was 26.64% (1 171/4 395). The positive rate of Salmonella was 26.23% (1 153/4 395). Sixteen strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were positive, and the positive detection rate was 0.36% (16/4 395). Two strains of Escherichia coli were positive, and the positive detection rate was 0.05% (2/4 395). The positive rate of Shigella was 0.02% (1/4 395). The positive detection rate was the highest in July, and the main exposed food was grain and its products. Eleven cases were positive for norovirus and the overall positive rate was 0.25% (11/4 395). The positive rate of norovirus was the highest in January, and the main exposed food was meat and meat products.Conclusion The foodborne disease incidence of Guangdong Province in 2020 is low but the hospitalization rates have certain proportion, western part of guangdong region has low incidence but the hospitalization rate is higher, the pearl river delta region high incidence but hospitalization rate is low, cases analysis showed that family scattered children and students accounted for the high proportion of the crowd, the cases were mainly in the summer, Salmonella detection rate is higher, it should strengthen the focus on the prevention and control of the crowd.

Abstract:Deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin (VT), is one of the most common mycotoxins produced by Fusarium spp. It is widely distributed in cereal and related products, which can cause huge economic losses to the world food production and poses a major threat to human and animal health. At present, the method of biological detoxification using microorganisms and enzymes shows good application prospects. Many microorgranisms, including bacteria and fungi, have the ability to absorb or degrade mycotoxins. This article outlines the occurrence and toxicity of DON in food, as well as the mechanism of biological detoxification of DON. Then, the recent progress in the detoxification of DON using fungi, bacteria and plants is summarized in more detail. Biological agents relating to DON detoxification are also discussed, with the aim of providing a reference for biocontrol of DON in food and feed.
