Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to the data of World Health Organization, at least 1 in 10 of the global population becomes unwell because of contaminated food and about 42,0000 people die every year. Food safety is very important for human health. Among the risk factors that threaten food safety, foodborne pathogens cause most food safety problems and consistently attract significant attention. For foodborne pathogens, we want to obtain the answers to the following questions: how do foodborne pathogens contaminate food? How do foodborne pathogens grow and reproduce in food? How can we kill foodborne pathogens or control contamination? How do foodborne pathogens infect people? How can we develop rapid, sensitive and reliable assays for the development of foodborne pathogens? The results of these questions can help people to reduce the serious consequences caused by foodborne pathogens and improve food safety.
Therefore, the Special Issue “Advances in Foodborne Pathogens” has been launched in Biology , and we are pleased to invite you to published novel studies (articles or reviews) about the recent advances in foodborne pathogens on topics including but not limited to contamination control, risk assessment, virulence mechanism, antibacterial agents or materials, and detection assays.
Dr. Qiming Chen
Guest Editor
