First Time

The Public Health Laboratory Network had its inaugural meeting on 26 June 1997. The meeting was chaired by Professor Lyn Gilbert who played a pivotal role in establishing this group. This was the first time that all the state and territory public health laboratory directors had been called to meet together. Members expressed a strong desire to communicate more closely on issues of public health importance and recognised the importance of promoting the role of public health laboratories in outbreak investigations and routine and enhanced surveillance.

This paper is devoted to a review of information pertinent to the role of Bacillus cereus as a food-borne pathogen. Primary emphasis is on the properties of B. cereus and published accounts of its involvement in animal and human disease. Methods for isolation, identification, and enumeration are discussed. Research needs pertaining to (a) recognition of the potential public health hazard and (b) further investigation of the food poisoning syndrome are presented.

Different Cultures

Aware of the huge and growing public health importance of depressive disorders the World Psychiatric Association developed an educational programme that brought together materials that psychiatrists could use in teaching other medical staff - for example general practitioners - about depression and its management. The programme was translated in many languages and widely used. Reports about the usefulness of the programme were very positive and usually drew attention to the fact that the programme contained a large amount of data that could be used in composing teaching curricula appropriate for the different settings in which the training was to take place. The experience gained in the use of the programme guided the development of the updated version of the programme released in 2009. As in the first edition, information was made available so that teachers could use in composing their educational activities. In addition however, a special chapter has been added to the programme addressing the role of culture in the presentation of depression and in its management. The presentation will describe the programme and its development. It will in particular describe the parts of the programme dealing with cultural issues and with the methods of education of general practitioners.

Foodborne Outbreaks

Shigellosis is classically thought of as a waterborne disease; however, public health data suggest that foodborne outbreaks are a significant, if not the major cause of the disease in the United States. The role of Shigella as a foodborne pathogen is reviewed, including discussions of taxonomy, epidemiology, virulence factors, growth and survival in foods and model systems, and methods for detection/identification in food products.

Melon Seeds

In order to ascertain the public health implication of the consumption of the fermented melon (Cucumismelo), known as Ogiri, consumed in all South Eastern Nigeria and beyond as a food condiment, thirty samples of locally fermented melon seeds, Ogiri, were randomly purchased from three markets in Owerri metropolis in Imo State. These samples were microbiologically analysed using pour plate technique on nutrient agar, MacConkey and Salmonella Shigella agar at 370C for 24 hours. The viable and mean counts were determined and the data obtained were statistically analyzed. There was no significant difference between the contamination of the samples (p>0.05). These organisms, following the order of predominance were isolated; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. The presence of these microorganisms of public health importance in food condiments pose a risk of enteritis and other food borne diseases in some individuals after its intake. Thus, the health organizations should embark on public and personal enlightenment programs targeted at both the producer and the consumer.

Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen which causes serious invasive illness, and affects mostly elderly and immune-compromised people, pregnant women, newborns and infants leading to listeriosis. L. monocytogenes can cause vast outbreaks due to consumption of contaminated food products, and has a significant role in public health. The pathogen has been isolated from food, human and animal samples world-wide. Neonatal listeriosis is most commonly reported incase of humans, where as in animal populations, spontaneous abortions, meningoencephalitis and endometritis are the most common. The purpose of this review is to enumerate Listeria epidemiology world-wide by using publicly available data from CDC, FDA and ProMED and by describing the details such as countries involved, source, suspected and confirmed case counts etc. to understand its public health importance. This review also offers a description of bacteriological characteristics, taxonomy, virulence determinants, typing methods, a detailed account of listeriosis in human and in animals and an up-to-date information of the recent outbreaks of L. monocytogenes. We specifically aimed at the prevalence and epidemiology of L. monocytogenes globally, since it is a major food-borne pathogen and is the third leading cause of death due to food poisoning. This review paper provides information on L. monocytogenes to understand the better management of the infection, the source of infection and route of transmission of the disease. Most of the listeriosis cases were linked with the consumption of contaminated food and it is important to identify the type of food materials to mitigate the risk of Listeriosis in the high-risk populations.
