Abstract

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

Abstract

The opening chapters in this essential book consider fundamental aspects such as the ecology and characteristics of biofilms in food and beverage processing environments and methods for their detection. Part 2 then reviews biofilm formation by different microorganisms. Part 3 focuses on the significant issues of biofilm prevention and removal.

Abstract

This book is not designed to serve as a diagnostic parasitology text or to contain all possible diagnostic test options, but to help the user make sense of a field for which training has become almost nonexistent.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Successful methods for the detection and investigation of outbreaks of foodborne disease are essential for ensuring consumer safety. Increased understanding of the transmission of pathogens in food chains will also assist efforts to safeguard public health. Tracing pathogens in the food chain reviews key aspects of the surveillance, analysis and spread of foodborne pathogens at different stages of industrial food production and processing.Part one provides an introduction to foodborne pathogen surveillance, outbreak investigation and control.

Abstract

Successful methods for the detection and investigation of outbreaks of foodborne disease are essential for ensuring consumer safety. Increased understanding of the transmission of pathogens in food chains will also assist efforts to safeguard public health. Tracing pathogens in the food chain reviews key aspects of the surveillance, analysis and spread of foodborne pathogens at different stages of industrial food production and processing. Part one provides an introduction to foodborne pathogen surveillance, outbreak investigation and control. Part two concentrates on subtyping of foodborne pathogens, with chapters on phenoytypic subtyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, as well as emerging methods. The vital topics of method validation and quality assurance are also covered. The focus in Part three is on particular techniques for the surveillance and study of pathogens, such as protein-based analysis, ribotyping and comparative genomics. Finally, Part four focuses on tracing pathogens in specific food chains, such as red meat and game, dairy, fish and shellfish. With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Tracing pathogens in the food chain is a standard reference for researchers, public health experts and food industry professionals concerned with the study and control of foodborne disease. Reviews key aspects of the surveillance, analysis and spread of foodborne pathogensProvides an overview of method validation and quality assuranceExamines the tracing of pathogens in specific food chains, such as red meat, game and dairy.

Abstract

Under the expert guidance of the editors in this book, renowned international authors provide timely and up-to-date reviews of current cutting-edge E. coli omics, molecular- and cellular-biology research. Topics range from E. coli genome plasticity and evolution to the application of omics technologies for in silico modeling to understand stress-triggered physiological responses. This authoritative volume is essential reading for scientists, both experts and students, working on pathogenic E. coli in academia, government, and biotechnology companies. It is also a must-read for anyone with an interest in bacterial pathogenesis and an important acquisition for all microbiology libraries.

Abstract

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.
