In this episode you will learn: - Shigella spp. is a bacteria transmitted through the fecal-oral route, primarily by infected food handlers with poor handwashing practices. - Foods commonly linked to Shigella outbreaks are ready-to-eat items that involve significant handling, such as TCS salads like potato, tuna, and chicken salad. - As one of the "Big 6" pathogens, a food handler diagnosed with shigellosis must be excluded from the food operation, not just restricted. - Flies can act as a vector, transferring Shigella from feces to food, making pest control a relevant preventive measure. - The most critical control measure for preventing Shigella is enforcing strict personal hygiene policies, including proper handwashing and excluding ill employees.
