Analysis of international programs of the hygienic monitoring of foodborne pathogens
AbstractThe article gives an overview of information international networks of monitoring the microbiological food safety in the world. The most famous are the European Network of Food Safety (EFSN), Global network for disease surveillance, Foodborne (GFN), International Network for the determination of molecular subtypes of bacterial food patogens (PulseNet), International Network of Food Safety (INFOSAN). The network EFSN is engaged development of information database and of warning systems to assess food safety. GFN supervises of foodborne pathogens (Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli, S. typhi, Shigella, Listeria monocytogenes, C. botulinum) in food, biomaterials, samples of products from centers of infection. PulseNet International is a network of National and regional laboratory networks dedicated to tracking foodborne infections world-wide. Еach PulseNet laboratory utilizes standardized genotyping methods and sharing information in real-time. The resulting surveillance provides early warning of foodborne disease outbreaks. The International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) is a global network emergency contact points for communication between the INFOSAN secretariat and national food safety authorities. In Russia, the contact point in the International Network INFOSAN is Rospotrebnadzor. Microbiological food safety is estimated by testing the finished product. This measure does not reflect the level and range of microbial contamination of food, does not provide a forecast of diseases caused by food. In conclusion, reported the need for the organization of monitoring of microbial food contaminants in Russia.
