THE MODULAR TRAINING FRAMEWORK: BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT LOs’ KNOWLEDGE PART   Summary LO11: Plants as vehicles for cross-infective pathogens transmission Information on growing awareness that infected plants, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, are responsible for a significant portion of food poisoning with pathogenic microorganisms; The need for a new understanding of the interaction between plants and human pathogens in the context of the described in the literature many types of pathogens with a wide range of hosts; An overview of the plants as a habitat for human pathogens on the basis of the characterized at present 22 bacterial and 38 fungal taxa causing phytoses The biology of several bacterial pathogens that exhibit cross pathogenicity (such as Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, Enterococcus, Serracia, Enterobacter); The difficulties and approaches to determine the retention of cross-pathogenicity and the direction of the host association (from plant to human or from human to plant); Special attention to human pathogens capable of colonizing different biological kingdoms, to the plants as their potential reservoirs, and to their importance for the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. ECO-Center 2014-1-BG01-KA204-001645

THE MODULAR TRAINING FRAMEWORK: BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT LOs’ KNOWLEDGE PART   Summary LO12: Food safety, plant pathogen awareness and management Main issues of food safety and its major implications on human health, social behaviour and economy; Information is presented on topics related to food-borne disease outbreaks that can make substantial numbers of people ill while attendant recalls and publicity can reduce consumer confidence and decrease demand with significant economic loss for all parts of the supply chain; The remarkable incidence of food borne illness associated with the contamination of agricultural crops is discussed in the view point of the ability of pathogenic bacteria to grow and persist on crop plants as well as their versatile life style; Problems associated with the interactions of enteric pathogens on plants that enhance not only their survival in that habitat but also their ability to infect humans; The known information from previous risk assessments, key risk factors and profiles, hazard assessments and sanitary risk analysis of plant products; The three steps in a Food Plant Safety Awareness Program: 1) spotting the hazard; 2) assessment of the risk; 3) making the changes and plant food risk management.
