Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbes are the most numerous organisms on Earth. The effects of microbes are attracting increasing attention due primarily to their increasing prevalence in environments such as water and food. In recent years, the contamination detection and identification of foodborne and waterborne pathogens have been subjects of great concern. Consequently, specific and sensitive methods for the detection and identification of pathogens and viruses is of importance for the control and risk assessment of food and water. Furthermore, there are rich probiotics in food and water. All kinds of probiotics have been isolated from and identified in food and water. Probiotics have demonstrated functions in inhibiting pathogens and disease control, and have a positive impact on public health. The risk assessment and antibiotic resistance of probiotics must be analyzed and evaluated before the application of probiotics in the food industry and in clinical use. Consequently, systemic studies on probiotics will contribute to the development of the food industry, public health and environmental safety.
