Popis:	Introduction - The World Health Organization (WHO) describes antimicrobial resistance in human pathogens as a global health challenge. In the context of food handlers, although human colonization with bacteria such as s. aureus is associated high risk to transfer the infection to others, or contaminate foods and food surfaces during handling, information regarding bacteria bioburden is still scarce. Considering that s. aureus is a cause of staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP), resultant from ingestion of staphylococcal enterotoxins present in food, is one of the most prevalent foodborne intoxications in the world, with fatality rates particularly concerning for children and the elderly and that foodstuff contamination by colonized food handlers represent a major risk for SFP, the assessment of colonization of these workers is crucial. Aim of study - Considering that food contamination by colonized food handlers represent a major risk for SFP, here we aim to assess s. aureus colonization prevalence of both sensible and resistant strains in a bakery as a case study. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
