Detecting Pathogens in Food brings together a distinguished international team of contributors to review the latest techniques in microbiological analysis and how they can best be used to ensure food safety. The first part of the book deals with general issues, such as the role of microbiological analysis in food safety management, as well as the critical issues of what to sample and how samples should be prepared to make analysis effective. The second section discusses the range of detection techniques now available, including exciting developments in the use of biosensors and applied systematics.
