“…Bacteria, viruses, and parasites are the most common pathogens causing foodborne diseases (Cacciò, Chalmers, Dorny, & Robertson, 2018;Wu et al, 2018) but foodborne maladies from fungi are also known (Martinovi c, Andjelkovi c, Gajdošik, Rešetar, & Josi c, 2016;Wu et al, 2018). It is important to recognize the important role of toxins (exotoxin or endotoxin in the case of bacteria, or mycotoxins in the case of fungi) in induction of foodborne diseases (Martinovi c et al, 2016) because the toxins may survive food processing operations that have killed the original pathogen. Both foodborne pathogens and their toxins can be present in foods such as vegetables, fruits, eggs, dairy products, raw or undercooked/cooked products containing seafood, meat, or poultry (Paramithiotis, Drosinos, & Skansamis, 2017;Yeni, Yavas, Alpas, & Soyer, 2016;Zhang et al, 2016).…”
