A first time survey of free-living protozoa in meat-cutting plants showed high diversity rates of various species including those that could harbor f, food-borne pathogens say researchers from Ghent University, Belgium.

Researchers have developed a new technology that can simultaneously screen thousands of samples of food or water for several dangerous food-borne pathogens in one to two hours.

Understanding the ecology of two dangerous foodborne pathogens and devising ways to combat them is a big job. That's why Kansas State University has a team of seven researchers and six collaborators taking on E. coli 0157 and salmonella.
