Genomes of Foodborne and Waterborne Pathogens First Edition

Detailed interpretation of the environmental consequences of the latest findings from genome sequencing studies―presenting both scientific and public health opportunities.

• Explains how understanding pathogen genomics can help ensure the safety of global food and water supplies.
• Focuses on specific food- and waterborne pathogens that represent major public health threats.
• Examines how global trends, such as climate change, increasing human populations, and rising levels of pollution, are stressing the ecosystems that food- and waterborne pathogens encounter, forcing them to adapt.
• Serves as an excellent text for microbiology and genomics researchers, public health officials, regulators, food scientists, and other applicable professionals.
