Presents descriptions and the most efficient uses for nearly 1400 media Includes a concise yet comprehensive introduction to food microbiology Offers an extensive index for quick access in addition to alphabetical organization Contains an extensive appendix that includes trademarks, a composition glossary, growth factors, and FDA recommendations for media choices Responding to an estimated 14 million cases of food-borne disease that occur every year in the United States alone, the Food and Drug Administration and US Department of Agriculture have begun implementing new regulations and guidance for the microbial testing of foods. Similarly, Europe and other regions are implementing stricter oversight, as foodborne pathogens that cause deadly diseases such as e. coli 0157: H7 have raised the stakes everywhere. Food safety scientists have acted on this growing public health risk by developing improved media for the cultivation of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, much of it geared toward specific rapid detection. Reflecting the development of these new media and the latest FDA recommendations, the second edition of the Handbook of Microbiological Media for the Examination of Food provides an essential resource for anyone involved with the monitoring of both food production and post-production quality control. Organized alphabetically by medium, the expanded edition of this highly respected handbook includes - Descriptions of nearly 1,400 media including those recommended by the FDA, as well as media used elsewhere in the world Concise and lucid instructions for the preparation and uses of each of the media Cross-referenced indexing that allows the media to be found by name or specific microorganism of interest Descriptions of expected results as they apply to microorganisms of importance for the examination of foods Common synonyms for the various media and listings of compositions, so that alternate media an be effectively employed
