In this work, the authors review genome sequencing initiatives, explaining how they continue to build our understanding of the ecology, adaptation, and evolution of individual pathogens. They explain how pathogen genomics has the potential to ensure the safety of global food and water supplies. This is recommended for microbiology and genomics researchers, public health officials, regulators, food scientists, and other professionals protecting food and water supplies from dangerous pathogens.

When bacteria attach to and colonise the surfaces of food processing equipment and foods products themselves, there is a risk that biofilms may form. Human pathogens in biofilms can be harder to remove than free microorganisms and may therefore pose a more significant food safety risk. Biofilms in the food and beverage industries reviews the formation of biofilms in these sectors and best practices for their control.The first part of the book considers fundamental aspects such as molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation by food-associated bacteria and methods for biofilm imaging, quan

Discover the links between infection with pathogenic microorganisms and such chronic illnesses as cancer, paralysis, arthritis, peptic ulcer, cirrhosis, and neurological disorders. Written and edited by leading experts, the book reviews the mechanisms used by pathogens to infect mucous surfaces, enter and multiply in the host environment, interfere with host defenses, damage host tissues, and produce long-term consequences.
