Molecular Detection of Human Bacterial Pathogens
As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these protocols to know which are most appropriate to adopt for accurate identification of bacterial pathogens. Molecular Detection of Human Bacterial Pathogens addresses th
Molecular Detection of Foodborne Pathogens
While the vast majority of our food supplies are nutritious and safe, foodborne pathogen-related illness still affects millions of people each year. Large outbreaks of foodborne diseases- such as the recent salmonella outbreak linked to various peanut butter products- continue to be reported with alarming frequency.All-Encompassing Guide to Detecti
Predictive Modelling in Food
This volume brings together papers detailing the latest advances in the field of predictive microbiology in foods presented at the 10th International Conference on Predictive Modelling in Food, held in Córdoba, Spain, in 2016. Predictive microbiology is a scientific area providing mathematical models to predict microbial behaviour in the food environment, providing valuable tools for food risk managers, food scientists and the food industry as a whole. The book introduces the reader to the most used and recognized modelling techniques for food, providing a thorough overview of this discipline and establishing the basis for future investigations. It is presented as a compendium of several high-quality research studies developed across the world, representing a unique contribution to the field as it shows recent discoveries and new trends of modelling in food and risk assessment. The most innovative methods, such as the use of genomic information for risk assessment and the application of quantitative risk assessment technology for foodborne pathogenic microorganisms, are also included here.
Emerging Approaches for Typing, Detection, Characterization, and Traceback of Escherichia coli, 2nd Edition
Pathogenic Escherichia coli strains cause a large number of diseases in humans, including diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, urinary tract infections, and neonatal meningitis, while in animals they cause diseases such as calf scours and mastitis in cattle, post-weaning diarrhea and edema disease in pigs, and peritonitis and airsacculitis in chickens. The different E. coli pathotypes are characterized by the presence of specific sets of virulence-related genes. Therefore, it is not surprising that pathogenic E. coli constitutes a genetically heterogeneous family of bacteria, and they are continuing to evolve. Rapid and accurate molecular methods are critically needed to...
Advances in Enzymology and Related Areas of Molecular Biology, Volume 77
This book covers important advances in enzymology, explaining the behavior of enzymes and how they can be utilized to develop novel drugs, synthesize known and novel compounds, and understand evolutionary processes.
Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting in collaboration with OIE on Foodborne Antimicrobial Resistance: Role of the Environment, Crops and Biocides
Responding to the request from the 39th Session Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) and the ad hoc Codex Intergovernmental Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance (TFAMR) for information about antimimcrobial resistance, this report provides scientific advice on the subject derived from a joint “FAO/WHO expert meeting on foodborne antimicrobial resistance: role of environment, crops and biocides” on 11-15 June 2018 in Rome, Italy. There is clear scientific evidence that foods of plant origin may serve as a vehicle of foodborne exposure to antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Aquaculture products can also carry bacteria that are resistant to medically important antimicrobials. As such, concert...
Microbiological safety of lipid-based ready-to-use foods for management of moderate acute malnutrition and severe acute malnutrition
Consistent with the need to provide safe food for young children, particularly during the complementary feeding period between 6 and 24 months and the period of rapid development to age 59 months, FAO and WHO convened a technical meeting in FAO headquarters, Rome, Italy, from 11 to 14 December 2012 that addressed the microbial safety of ready-to-use foods (RUF) for the management of acute malnutrition. The meeting was held at the request of the WFP and UNICEF to help them formulate a science-based response to the finding of Cronobacter spp. in lipid-based RUF and to provide guidance on appropriate microbiological specifications to include among other purchase requirements to enhance the safety of lipid-based RUF. This report provides an overview of the assessment of the risk posed by Cronobacter spp in this product and provides guidance to agencies distributing the product as well of the producers on how to manage this problem and minimise the risk to the vulnerable consuming popula tion.
Microbial safety of lipid-based ready-to-use foods for management of moderate acute malnutrition and severe acute malnutrition. Second report
The FAO/WHO expert meeting held in December 2014 considered microbial contamination of lipid-based ready-to-use foods (RUFs) and the risk of foodborne infections in the malnourished population of children that consume RUFs. The goals of the expert meeting were to: review the status of the microbiological safety of lipid-based RUFs used to manage moderate acute malnutrition and severe acute malnutrition; conduct a comprehensive risk assessment; provide guidance to producers on the general approach and requirements for manufacturing RUFs that are safe for their intended use; and provide guidance to the agencies that purchase RUFs on how best to judge their microbiological safety. The expert co...
Food Safety in China
From contaminated infant formula to a spate of all-too familiar headlines in recent years, food safety has emerged as one of the harsher realities behind China's economic miracle. Tainted beef, horse meat and dioxin outbreaks in the western world have also put food safety in the global spotlight. Food Safety in China: Science, Technology, Management and Regulation presents a comprehensive overview of the history and current state of food safety in China, along with emerging regulatory trends and the likely future needs of the country. Although the focus is on China, global perspectives are presented in the chapters and 33 of the 99 authors are from outside of China. Timely and illuminating, this book offers invaluable insights into our understanding of a critical link in the increasingly globalized complex food supply chain of today's world.
