Book Description
Pathogens respond dynamically to their environment. Understanding their behavior is critical for two important reasons: because of emerging evidence of increased pathogen resistance to established sanitation and preservation techniques and because of the increased use of minimal processing technologies, which are potentially more vulnerable to the development of resistance. Understanding Pathogen Behavior: Virulence, Stress Response And Resistance collects and summarizes the wealth of recent research in this area and its implications for microbiologists and QA staff in the food industry.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is a well written book containing a wealth of up-to-date information which would be useful to scientists in the fool industry, public health and academia as well as to postgraduate students wishing to increase their understanding in this important area of food microbiology. Leading authorities have contributed chapters, including current methods used to study pathogen behavior, development of pathogenicity, and adaptation to stress response and resistance, as well as individual chapters on specific food pathogens. …”
