ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cary, Jeffrey W. / Cary, Cary W., PUBLISHER: CRC Press, Through the use ong>ofong> molecular and cellular biological techniques, numerous advances have been made in understanding the molecular basis ong>ofong> virulence ong>mechanismsong> and toxin biosynthesis in organisms that contaminate food and feed. Microbial Foodborne Diseases: ong>Mechanismsong> ong>ofong> Pathogenesis and Toxin Synthesis serves as an advanced text on these techniques, providing useful, up-to-date information by recognized authorities on the molecular ong>mechanismsong> ong>ofong> pathogenesis and toxin production ong>ofong> some ong>ofong> the most important foodborne pathogens. This book focuses on the molecular and cellular processes that govern pathogenicity and toxin production in foodborne and waterborne pathogens - viral, bacterial, fungal, and protozoan. It also includes current information related to the association ong>ofong> each pathogen with particular foods and water, epidemiology, methods ong>ofong> early detection, toxicology, and economic impact ong>ofong> the pathogen. It not only serves as an excellent reference, it is also a valuable tool in the rational design ong>ofong> preventative controls and therapeutic approaches to the disease process.
