GenitoUrinary tract infection. Bladder infection is one example of a GU infection.
A food infection is an illness that a human or animal can get from eating a food that is contaminated with the virus or bacteria. Another name for this is food poisoning.

A toxin-mediated infection is a type of food-borne illness that involves the ingestion of food contaminated with living, pathogenic bacteria. The bacteria proliferate inside the stomach and intestine, producing and releasing toxins as they grow. These toxins are responsible for the symptoms of the illness, which can include stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Examples of bacteria that cause toxin-mediated infections are Clostridium perfringens and Escherichia coli 0157:H7. This is to be distinguished from food intoxication, in which harmful bacteria multiply and produce toxins in or on a food product. The toxin is then ingested along with the food, resulting in illness. Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacterium that causes food intoxication.
Three major causes of foodborne illness may include, but are not limited to: 1. Bacterial infection (example: Ecoli or Salmonella in undercooked meat, food unrefrigerated, or from unwashed cutting boards) 2. Viral infection (example: Norovirus in raw shellfish or sushi from contaminated water... or from average restaurant food handled by someone with Norovirus - also known as the "stomach flu" and one of the most common viruses in the U.S.) 3. Parasitic infection (example: intestinal worms contracted from eating undercooked meat) Thankfully this is rare.
Meningitis.
you get cross infection through bacteria that gets onto your food
A fomite is any object that can facilitate horizontal bacteria transmission of bacteria or virus (person to person). Almost every object on earth could theoretically act as a fomite. A good example would be a doorknob: Someone with an infection (that has the infection-causing bacteria on their hands) touches a doorknob, then you touch that doorknob and then touch your nose or mouth, then you get the infection. The doorknob acted as a fomite, and you just got a fomite borne infection. Another example would be food: Someone with an infection sneezes on your food (or near your food), then you eat that food, then you get the infection. The food acted as a fomite, and you just got a fomite borne infection.
A toxin-mediated infection is caused when a living organism is consumed with food (as in the case of an infection). Once the organism is inside the human body, it produces a toxin that causes the illness. Toxin-mediated infection is different from an intoxication because the toxin is produced inside the human body. An example of an organism that causes this type of illness is Clostridium perfringens.
To make it simple, When it is Food Intoxication, it is the toxin that makes you ill when you ingest it. it is produced by the microorganism. on the other side, when we say Food Infection, the microorganism itself that cause illness.

An example of a protein that helps fight off infection is antibodies.
