Press Release Body =
Understanding pathogen behaviour: Virulence, stress response and resistance

Edited by M Griffiths, University of Guelph, Canada

Pathogens respond dynamically to their environment. Understanding their behaviour is
critical both because of evidence of increased resistance to established sanitation
and preservation techniques, and because of the increased use of minimal processing
technologies which are more vulnerable to the development of resistance.
Understanding pathogen behaviour summarises the wealth of recent research and its
implications for the food industry.

After two introductory chapters on ways of analysing and modelling pathogens, Part 1
summarises current research on what determines pathogenicity, stress response,
adaptation and resistance. Part 2 reviews the behaviour of particular pathogens,
reviewing virulence, stress response and resistance mechanisms in such pathogens as
Salmonella, E.coli and Campylobacter. The final part of the book assesses how
pathogens react and adapt to particular stresses from heat treatment and the effects
of low temperature to the use of disinfectants and sanitisers.

With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Understanding
pathogen behaviour will be a standard reference for the food industry in ensuring
food safety.
