Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I invite you to publish the results of your research in this Special Issue entitled “Detection and Control of Foodborne Pathogens in Food Supply Chain”. Every day, we are engaged in fundamental activities to develop rapid and effective laboratory methods that can identify and enumerate pathogenic microorganisms in food. Furthermore, our work aims to validate methods capable of characterizing and comparing strains of pathogenic microorganisms to resolve food poisoning outbreaks and map the persistence of microorganisms dangerous to the health of the consumer along the agri-food chain. The publication of such studies on the detection and characterization of pathogenic microorganisms can lead to the sharing of laboratory methods with excellent performance and the availability of data that safety competent authorities can use to facilitate plans for consumer health protection.
Dr. Daniela Manila Bianchi
