Three types of microorganisms can contaminate food and cause foodborne illness – bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Another group of microorganisms that one also needs to be concerned about are fungi, which are yeast and molds. Yeast and mold cause food to spoil but do not cause foodborne illness.

- 5.2 Bacteria. Most foodborne illness is caused by bacteria. These single-celled microbes reproduce by splitting in two - often very rapidly. In the right conditions of warmth, acidity and moisture they can produce millions of cells in a few hours. Some bacteria form spores which are resistant to drying and heating.

Differentiate between the major types of foodborne diseases -- infection, intoxication, and toxin-mediated infection. A foodborne disease is when a person eats food containing harmful microorganisms, which then grow in the intestinal tract and cause illness. Some bacteria, all viruses, and all parasites cause foodborne illness via infection.

Food Contamination and Foodborne Illness Prevention Food becomes contaminated through a variety of mechanisms. Some things that can contribute to foodborne illness are: 1  inadequate handwashing. 2  cross-contamination. 3  storage and cooking temperatures. 4  contamination of food by animal waste. Many pathogens need to multiply to a larger number before enough are present in food to cause disease. 2  In general, refrigeration or freezing prevents virtually all bacteria from growing. 3  If food is heated sufficiently, parasites, viruses and most bacteria are killed.

Food Poisoning Causes. The cause of most cases of food poisoning is pathogens. A pathogen is any living organism that can cause disease. This includes bacteria, viruses, and molds. The most common pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses are: 1  Salmonella – found in meats, eggs, milk and fresh fruits and vegetables. Campylobacter – though it is one of the most common causes of food poisoning, it usually occurs as an isolated incident, instead of as an outbreak as is the case with some of the other pathogens. 2  Symptoms can last up to 10 days and is found in undercooked poultry, raw milk and in contaminated drinking water.
