Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Volume I (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/foods/special_issues/Food_Bioactives) and Volume II (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/foods/special_issues/T5ES6N4630) of this Special Issue were incredibly successful. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone involved for their participation, as well as for the support of numerous high-profile scientists.
Foodborne pathogenic bacteria threaten the safety of the food system from farms to our tables. To enhance the safety of our food system, the first step is to understand how the food system has been and could still be contaminated by pathogenic bacteria, such as pathogenic Escherichia coli, non-typhoidal Salmonella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and other emerging and re-emerging pathogenic bacteria. On the other hand, we also need to understand how these bacteria can survive different processing and preservation steps in the food system. As of now, biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance may explain the mechanisms behind the bacteria’s survival. However, gaps in our knowledge still exist. Once we have acquired basic information, we will be able to prevent and control the contamination of foodborne pathogenic bacteria.
