Hot topics in food microbiology

Hot topics in food microbiology Conference – 1–2 November 2011

Microbiology issues are never far from the consciousness of those in the food chain. New issues are always arising. This two–day conference, sponsored by bioMérieux, will look at some of the major new concerns:

• Pathogenic Escherichia coli – heightened in 2011 due to outbreaks from E. coli O104 associated with fenugreek seeds imported from Egypt
• Foodborne viruses – probably the most underrecognised cause of outbreaks of gastroenteritis
• Listeria – cases of 'listeriosis' continue to make headlines on a world–wide basis, with the elderly seen as a group susceptible to this disease.
• Beneficial microorganisms – don't forget the good guys – many of the foods we take for granted today would not exist without the actions of microorganisms
