Resumo:Foodborne diseases (FBD) represent an impact on public health, since they are responsible for the increase in mortality and morbidity rates, generating greater negative effects in low and middle-income countries.

These cases call for epidemiological surveillance in health centers in order to determine the pathogen and generate an efficient treatment.
