  • Title: Bacterial food poisoning: what to do if prevention fails.
    Author: Goldfrank L, Weisman R.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1982 Sep; 72(3):171-5, 178-9. PubMed ID: 6812033.
    Abstract:
    The numerous etiologies of food poisoning make assessment of this disease a cultural, bacteriologic, chemical, gastronomic, and epidemiologic research project. Cautious investigation and study of etiologic possibilities are most stimulating intellectual exercises and obviously benefit the patient. Often, a case of food poisoning necessitates interaction with the local health department in search of the causative agent before other people are afflicted. A thorough knowledge of this field is essential to provide reasonable care to the millions "poisoned" by food annually.
