食品伙伴網(wǎng)導(dǎo)讀：為應(yīng)對由彎曲桿菌引起的食物中毒，英國食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局正委任一系列彎曲桿菌的研究。

據(jù)悉，在英國彎曲桿菌是引起食物中毒的最常見的原因，每年引發(fā)超過300,000起病例，經(jīng)濟(jì)損失超過583百萬英鎊。在紅肉、未經(jīng)巴氏消毒法消毒的牛奶和未處理的水中都有發(fā)現(xiàn)，但是最主要的源頭為禽肉。

該局的這一舉措，是為了響應(yīng)該局所提出的彎曲桿菌風(fēng)險(xiǎn)管理五年計(jì)劃。

FSA commissions campylobacter research

Tuesday 6 July 2010

The Food Standards Agency is commissioning a range of research to tackle the food poisoning bug campylobacter.

Campylobacter is the most common cause of food poisoning in the UK, causing over 300,000 cases per year and costing the economy more than £583m. The most common source is poultry meat, although it is also found in red meat, unpasteurised milk and untreated water.

To support the Agency’s five-year campylobacter risk management programme, the Agency is looking to commission a range of research as part of a new campylobacter research programme. Where appropriate, the FSA will work with other funders to help deliver the evidence needed in a coordinated way.

The initial areas of research are:

• feasibility of developing a rapid on-farm test
• effectiveness of biosecurity training
• controlling campylobacter in the slaughterhouse
• monitoring campylobacter
• predictive models
• measuring the impact of interventions
