Question

Common food poisoning microbes are
A. Clostridium and Salmonella
B. Clostridium and E. coli
C. E. coli and Streptococcus
D. Clostridium and Streptococcus

Answer 1

Hint: Food poisoning is not a disorder but it is a temporary problem which happens in the body. Sometimes food poisoning can occur due to food poisoning microbes or the food itself. Food which cannot be digested properly can cause havoc inside the body resulting in stomach ache, vomiting, nausea, fatigue and being unable to eat more food. Etc.

Complete answer:
A. Clostridium and Salmonella- food poisoning is an illness caused by consumption of food or water contaminated with bacteria and other toxins and parasites, viruses or chemicals. The most common pathogens are norovirus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Clostridium and campylobacter.
So, option A is the correct answer.
B. Clostridium and E. coli- Clostridium is the organism which causes food poisoning in animals. But E. coli is not any food poisoning organism. It is usually used in biotech experiments as markers or as restriction enzymes. Hence this is a false option.
So, option B is not correct.
C. E. coli and Streptococcus- E. coli is the most commonly used bacteria in the biology field as it has a high productivity rate and it reproduces at a faster rate. Hence it can be used as a probe. Streptococcus is a bacterium used in making antiseptic ointments as it has properties of microbial activity.
So, option C is not correct.
D. Clostridium and Streptococcus- Streptococcus is a gram-positive coccus. Cell division in streptococci occurs along a single axis, so they grow in chains and they are not the causative organism for food poisoning.
So, option D is not correct.

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.

Note:
