Editorial for the Special Issue: Foodborne Pathogen Distribution Ecology Inactivation and Methods of Differentiation

摘要

Foodborne pathogens are a major cause of diarrheal disease throughout the world, and 40% of the foodborne illnesses are observed among children under the age of 5 years. With the overuse of antibacterial drugs, multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains have increasingly become more commonplace. Therefore, a better understanding of pathogenic bacteria and how drug resistance genes are spread is crucial in on-going efforts to control MDR pathogenic bacteria.
