Antimicrobial Resistance and Food Safety Methods and Techniques [Hardcover]

Antimicrobial Resistance and Food Safety: Methods and Techniques introduces antimicrobial resistant food-borne pathogens, their surveillance and epidemiology, emerging resistance and resistant pathogens. This analysis is followed by a systematic presentation of currently applied methodology and technology, including advanced technologies for detection, intervention, and information technologies. This reference can be used as a practical guide for scientists, food engineers, and regulatory personnel as well as students in food safety, food microbiology, or food science.

• Includes analysis of all major pathogens of concern
• Provides many case studies and examples of fundamental research findings
• Presents recent advances in methodologies and analytical software
• Demonstrates risk assessment using information technologies in foodborne pathogens
