Food Borne Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistance

<p>Food is an essential means for humans and other animals to acquire the necessary elements needed for survival. However, it is also a transport vehicle for foodborne pathogens, which can pose great threats to human health. Use of antibiotics has been enhanced in the human health system; however, selective pressure among bacteria allows the development for antibiotic resistance.</p> <p><i>Foodborne Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistance</i> bridges technological gaps, focusing on critical aspects of foodborne pathogen detection and mechanisms regulating antibiotic resistance that are relevant to human health and foodborne illnesses</p> <p>This groundbreaking guide:<br />• Introduces the microbial presence on variety of food items for human and animal consumption.<br />• Provides the detection strategies to screen and identify the variety of food pathogens in addition to reviews the literature. <br />• Provides microbial molecular mechanism of food spoilage along with molecular mechanism of microorganisms acquiring antibiotic resistance in food.<br />• Discusses systems biology of food borne pathogens in terms of detection and food spoilage.<br />• Discusses FDA’s regulations and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) towards challenges and possibilities of developing global food safety.</p> <p><i>Foodborne Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistance</i> is an immensely useful resource for graduate students and researchers in the food science, food microbiology, microbiology, and industrial biotechnology.</p>
