| Abstract (English): |
Introduction: Diseases transmitted by foods take place due to the ingestion of foods and/or contaminated drinks. Objective: To identify the causal agents that influence in the emergence of these diseases. Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study of all the diseases outbreaks transmitted by foods was carried out in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2018 to December, 2019. The analyzed variables were: number of outbreaks, samples of foods and samples of stools for coproculture, among others. Results: In all the outbreaks a single type of bacterial agent was isolated, with prevalence of the gram-negative bacterias, where Salmonella was the most identified microorganism. The main groups of foods related to the emergence of these outbreaks were meat and its derived products, as well as cold salad. Conclusions: The epidemiologic surveillance of diseases outbreaks transmitted by foods, allowed to identify the true causal agent in the FTD outbreaks, when the identity between the bacterial isolations obtained from samples of foods and stools was demonstrated.

Introducción: Las enfermedades trasmitidas por alimentos se producen por la ingestión de alimentos y/o bebidas contaminados. Objetivo: Identificar los agentes causales que influyen en la aparición de estas enfermedades. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal del total de brotes de enfermedades trasmitidas por alimentos en la provincia de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero de 2018 hasta diciembre de 2019. Las variables analizadas fueron: número de brotes, muestras de alimentos y muestras de heces fecales para coprocultivo, entre otras. Resultados: En todos los brotes se aisló un solo tipo de agente bacteriano, con predominio de las bacterias gramnegativas, donde la Salmonella fue el microorganismo más identificado. Los principales grupos de alimentos relacionados con la aparición de dichos brotes resultaron ser la carne y sus derivados, así como la ensalada fría. Conclusiones: La vigilancia epidemiológica de brotes de enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos, permitió identificar el verdadero agente causal en los brotes de ETA, al demostrarse identidad entre los aislamientos bacterianos obtenidos de muestras de alimentos y heces fecales.
