This book addresses the use of DNA microarray technology to identify pathogenic bacteria and to study gene expression in complex microbial populations, such as those found in the food supply chain. Following an introduction to foodborne diseases and a review of the general techniques for detecting foodborne pathogens, the book discusses in subsequent chapters the basic principles of DNA microarray technology, the various methodologies used, data management and analysis, data validation, and the applications of DNA microarray in detecting and analysing bacterial pathogens in food. Data generated by microarray analysis are now used to improve the safety of our food supply. Microarray technology is in a continuous state of evolution and development. The book ends with a personal view of future trends in the field of DNA microarray and nanotechnology applications to microbiological safety of food.
