Streptococcus suis is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis in
Vietnamese adults, and the major risk factors have been identified
as consumption of raw pig blood (Tiet canh), and occupational
exposure to pigs. Previous studies of S. suis prevalence in
pigs sampled from southern Vietnam have ind...

In Vietnam, pork accounts for 75% of total meat consumed
daily at households. However, pork may contain high levels of
microbial contamination such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli
which might cause harm to consumers. To determine microbial

Food borne diseases (FBD) are an increasing global public health concern with
estimated 1 in 10 people falling ill every year from eating contaminated food causing
420,000 deaths. Diarrheal diseases accounted for more than half of the global
burden with children at especial risk (WHO 2015). Evide...
