Abstract

Objective: To determine the role of the bacteria associated with foodborne diseases in Sudan and to help health policymakers introduce strict intervention measures control.
Methods: The review uses up-to-date data via manual screening of the titles and abstracts of retrieved articles using string foodborne diseases in Sudan and foodborne illnesses as keywords to obtain publications from the electronic databases PubMed and Google Scholar using the publish or perish tool. However, priority has been given to the scientific papers, reports, and literature issued within the past 5 years.
Results: The review reported that many types of research revealed that foodborne infection is a critical, life-threatening health problem in Sudan and that different food pathogens are responsible for people and outbreaks of foodborne illness.
Conclusion: Foodborne diseases are considered one of the main reasons for illness and death, particularly in countries that suffer from poor economic conditions, such as Sudan. The review concluded that the most bacteria that caused foodborne disease in Sudan were Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp, and Staphylococcus aureus.
