Foodborne Microbial Pathogens
Mechanisms and Pathogenesis
This graduate-level textbook focuses on the very latest information on the molecular and cellular mechanism of several major foodborne bacterial pathogens. For the first time this book links foodborne illness and immunology. It also covers virulence genes and their regulation in the host or the food environment, pathogenicity testing models, clinical symptoms and prevention and control strategies. A prerequisite to understanding the disease process is an understanding of the role of the immune system in that process. Thus, unlike other textbooks this one also covers the host/parasite interaction to a level where readers have a real appreciation of the disease mechanism. Now, more food microbiology training courses have begun to emphasize the importance of basic research and its power to solve practical problems. Thus it is imperative to acquire a better understanding of foodborne pathogens. And this is what this brilliant and timely contribution to the subject offers.
