- Abstract
Objective: Provide an analysis that provides an overview of Edwarsiella tarda pathogen microorganism in fish intended for human consumption and capable of generating human disease through food, the different factors associated with the occurrence of disease, control and prevention in foods such as fish. Methodology: For the development of this document, the search and analysis of pertinent information was carried out in different databases such as Scielo, Scopus, Redalyc, Academic Google, among others. Results: Infection by Edwarsiella tarda in fish destined for human consumption constitute a risk to public health. Traditional and molecular analytical methods have been developed for their detection, as well as actions in animal health and hygiene, in order to control and prevent their incidence in the production of food of animal origin and transmission of diseases to the consumer. Implications in the study: Edwardsiella tarda lives in aquatic ecosystems, and is part of the microbiota of fish, capable of producing disease when health and hygiene conditions are inadequate along the food chain and can generate a risk to health when consuming contaminated fish mainly in raw state or subjected to inadequate processing procedures. Conclusions: Edwarsiella tarda is considered an emerging pathogen of importance in public health. It has been established that the prevention and control of infections by this pathogen in animals for human consumption and humans is through the joint implementation of good hygiene practices along the food chain in order to offer nutritious food and innocuous to the general population such as fish.
