CDC’s top 3 foodborne bugs in U.S.

疾病防治中心公布：美国三大食源性致病细菌

The top three germs that cause illnesses from food eaten in the United States are:

在美国，通过食物传播的致病细菌中，排名前三的如下：

1. Norovirus

诺如病毒

Norovirus is the leading cause of gastroenteritis. It causes 23 million cases of gastroenteritis per year, or over half of all gastroenteritis cases in the U.S., and is the second most common virus after the common cold.

诺如病毒是肠胃炎的头号致病原因。诺如病毒每年引起两千三百万例肠胃炎，占每年美国肠胃炎病例的一半以上。诺如病毒也是普通感冒病毒之后的第二大常见病毒。

2. Salmonella

沙门氏菌

Salmonella is the second most common intestinal infection in the United States. 20,000 hospitalizations and almost 400 deaths occur from Salmonella poisoning, according to a 2011 report. Salmonella infection usually occurs when a person eats food contaminated with the feces of animals or humans carrying the bacteria. Salmonella outbreaks are commonly associated with eggs, meat and poultry.

沙门氏菌是美国第二常见的肠道感染源。2011年报告表明，沙门氏菌导致了两万人住院，并造成接近四百人的死亡。沙门氏菌一般存在于动物或携带这种细菌的人类的排泄物里，而食用被排泄物污染的食物会导致沙门氏菌感染。沙门氏菌疫情的爆发通常与受到污染的蛋类、肉类和禽类相关。

3. Clostridium perfringens

产气荚膜梭菌

Clostridium perfringens and its toxins are found everywhere in the environment, but human infection is most likely to come from eating food with Clostridium perfringens in it. Food poisoning from Clostridium perfringens is fairly common, but is typically not too severe, and is often mistaken for the 24-hour flu.

产气荚膜梭菌及其释放的毒素在自然环境中随处可见，但是对于人类来说，一般只有直接食用含有产气荚膜梭菌的食物才会感染。产气荚膜梭菌引发的食物中毒相对较常见，但通常都不是特别严重，甚至经常被误认为是24小时流感。
