New understanding of foodborne pathogens that cause diseases have evolved over time along with advances in food science and economic developments. According to a 2015 SGS News Center report, the potential impact of food safety outbreaks at a single event can bring about huge economic losses. In the US alone, foodborne illness economic burden is estimated to cost US $77 to $152 billion annually. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US CDC) identifies four common pathogens that account for the majority of foodborne illnesses, hospitalization, and even death.

 

Equip yourself with the latest updates on the common and emerging foodborne pathogens and learn how to manage and control them from Prof. Angella Melissa Carlos, Microbiology Division Head of the Institute of Biological Sciences at the University of the Philippines - Los Baños. Participate and be armed with correct knowledge on the subject matter!
