Food-borne microbes : shaping the host ecosystem

With contributions from experts in environmental, food, oral, medical, and veterinary microbiology, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach that sheds new light on microbial communities and their interactions within and between different environments, with an emphasis on food systems. The book...
