Abstract

Foodborne diseases present a substantial global health risk. Traditional diagnostic methods have constraints, but advancements in molecular techniques, like quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), provide a hopeful solution. We examined 1,011 stool samples from individuals suspected of foodborne illnesses. Our analysis indicated a significant presence of Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella enterica, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), and adenovirus. Notably, co-infections were identified in 71.22% of the samples. The data emphasize a notable prevalence of co-infections, highlighting the complexity of foodborne illnesses. This study underscores the significance of utilizing contemporary diagnostic methods in densely populated urban areas such as Beijing Municipality.
