Feeding raw meat-based diets (RMBDs) to companion animals has become increasingly popular. Since these diets may be contaminated with bacteria and parasites, they may pose a risk to both animal and human health. The purpose of this study was to test for the presence of zoonotic bacterial and parasitic pathogens in Dutch commercial RMBDs. We analysed 35 commercial frozen RMBDs from eight different brands. serotype O157:H7 was isolated from eight products (23 per cent) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-producing was found in 28 products (80 per cent). was present in 19 products (54 per cent), other species in 15 products (43 per cent) and species in seven products (20 per cent). Concerning parasites, four products (11 per cent) contained and another four (11 per cent) In two products (6 per cent) was found. The results of this study demonstrate the presence of potential zoonotic pathogens in frozen RMBDs that may be a possible source of bacterial infections in pet animals and if transmitted pose a risk for human beings. If non-frozen meat is fed, parasitic infections are also possible. Pet owners should therefore be informed about the risks associated with feeding their animals RMBDs.
给伴侣动物喂食以生肉为主的饮食（RMBDs）越来越普遍。由于这些饮食可能被细菌和寄生虫污染，它们可能对动物和人类健康都构成风险。本研究的目的是检测荷兰市售RMBDs中是否存在人畜共患的细菌和寄生虫病原体。我们分析了来自八个不同品牌的35种市售冷冻RMBDs。从8种产品（23%）中分离出O157:H7血清型，在28种产品（80%）中发现产超广谱β-内酰胺酶的情况。19种产品（54%）中存在[具体细菌名称未给出]，15种产品（43%）中存在其他[细菌名称未给出]物种，7种产品（20%）中存在[细菌名称未给出]物种。关于寄生虫，4种产品（11%）含有[寄生虫名称未给出]，另外4种（11%）含有[寄生虫名称未给出]。在2种产品（6%）中发现了[寄生虫名称未给出]。本研究结果表明，冷冻RMBDs中存在潜在的人畜共患病原体，这可能是宠物细菌感染的一个可能来源，并且如果传播会对人类构成风险。如果喂食未冷冻的肉，也可能发生寄生虫感染。因此，应该告知宠物主人给动物喂食RMBDs相关的风险。
