A recent study explores the use of nanosensors and biosensors as an easy, cost-effective, and rapid method of detecting foodborne pathogens.

A dataset on Listeria monocytogenes has been compiled from over 1,400 genomes collected across 19 European nations to better understand the pathogen’s genetic makeup and adaptation in different ecological niches.

A recent study has discovered high levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli in samples of raw chicken meat and chicken fecal matter.

Researchers in Japan have published the first known study of Staphylococcus argenteus, a novel foodborne pathogen, in food processing facilities.

A recent study reveals that a significant number of listeriosis cases in Germany were caused by the consumption of smoked or graved salmon that was contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes.

The majority of the world outside of North America and Europe does not use whole genome sequencing for food safety surveillance, a recent study finds.
