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 Detection Techniques One of the most
effective ways to control and prevent human foodborne infections is
to implement a pathogen surveillance system. Addressing the
biology, epidemiology, and pathogenesis of more than 60
microorganisms, Molecular Detection of Foodborne Pathogens
demonstrates how to implement a surveillance system that uses
state-of-the-art molecular techniques to quickly detect and
identify bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic pathogens
concerned. Included in each chapter: Concise review of the selected
pathogen in respect to its biology, epidemiology, and pathogenesis
Summary of molecular detection methods available Description of
clinical/food sample collection and preparation procedures
Selection of robust, effective, step-by-step detection protocols
Discussion of the current challenges and ongoing research needs to
further extend utility and performance of molecular diagnostic
methods With proven, ready-to-use protocols (including commercial
kits), this globally pertinent resource demonstrates how speedy and
effective detection methods can lead to more lives saved and a
consistently safe, quality, and trustworthy food supply.
