In recent years, food safety has become a focal point of public concern, and foodborne illnesses caused by microbial contamination remain the most prominent issue in food safety. Streptococcus hemolyticus, a member of the Streptococcus genus, is sensitive to both heat and chemical disinfectants. It commonly causes infections of the tonsils, pharynx, and middle ear, and also serves as the pathogen responsible for scarlet fever and pyelonephritis. Streptococcus hemolyticus is widely found in air, water, dust, feces, and the oral cavity, nasal passages, and pharynx of both healthy humans and animals. Infection can occur through direct contact, droplets, or via skin and mucosal wounds. Moreover, contaminated foods such as milk, meat, eggs, and their derivatives can also lead to human infection.
