Food is an essential means for humans and other animals to acquire the necessary elements needed for survival. However, it is also a transport vehicle for foodborne pathogens, which can pose great threats to human health. Use of antibiotics has been enhanced in the human health system; however, selective pressure among bacteria allows the development for antibiotic resistance.

Foodborne Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistance bridges technological gaps, focusing on critical aspects of foodborne pathogen detection and mechanisms regulating antibiotic resistance that are relevant...

Examines what we know about the relationship between organic chemicals and human disease

Organic chemicals are everywhere: in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. They are also found in a myriad of common household and personal care products. Unfortunately, exposure to some organic chemicals can result in adverse health effects, from growth and developmental disorders to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. This book examines how organic chemicals affect human health. It looks at the different diseases as well as how individual organ systems are...

With the evolution of vascular infusion technology, its use in the preclinical safety assessment of pharmaceuticals has become increasingly widespread. Hence, a need has developed for a single source on the scientific principles behind this technology. A logical companion to the new edition of The Techniques of Non-Clinical Vascular Infusion Technology, this book brings together current knowledge and underlying practices from around the world to help refine the procedures and enhance the global understanding of infusion technology.

Intended for researchers as well as the clinical veterinarian serving pet owners in the general public, this comprehensive text represents the definitive work on rodent laparoscopy and colonoscopy. Providing step-by-step instruction, it details how to select, obtain and care for the equipment; how to perform the procedures; and how to implement these procedures in clinical practice for financial benefit. The first and only book on the subject, it includes precise anatomical images not available anywhere else.

With contributions from an international selection of authors who are leaders in commercial infusion technology, Non-Clinical Vascular Infusion Technology, Volume II: The Techniques provides a current account of the techniques involved in all the major laboratory...

With the world's growing population, the provision of a safe, nutritious and wholesome food supply for all has become a major challenge. To achieve this, effective risk management based on sound science and unbiased information is required by all stakeholders, including the food industry, governments and consumers themselves. In addition, the globalization of the food supply requires the harmonization of policies and standards based on a common understanding of food safety among authorities in countries around the world. With some 280 chapters, the Encyclopedia of Food Safety provides...
