Description

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 TechniquesOne 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 pathogenesisSummary of molecular detection methods availableDescription of clinical/food sample collection and preparation proceduresSelection of robust, effective, step-by-step detection protocolsDiscussion of the current challenges and ongoing research needs to further extend utility and performance of molecular diagnostic methodsWith 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.
