State Level Seminar on
“Emerging Food borne
Pathogens”
9th & 10th February 2012
Venue : St. Xavier's College,Mapusa.
Organised by Dept. of Microbiology, Biotechnology, St.
Xavier's College.
ABOUT THE SEMINAR:
Increased globalization of food supply, pathogen
evolution due to genetic changes, changes in food production or changing
technology, use of antimicrobials for prophylaxis in animals have led to the
emergence of bacterial strains resistant to multiple antibiotics by transfer of
mobile virulence factors. An increased awareness of emerging pathogens, changes
in food production and handling practices, improvements in microbiological
detection methods will be needed to prevent the spread of emerging foodborne
diseases. In view of this urgent need we are pleased to inform you that the
Departments of Microbiology and Biotechnology of our college are organizing a
two day seminar on 'Emerging food-borne pathogens'.
The seminar will comprise of Invited Lectures and Oral presentations.
The following themes would be covered:
1. Overall scenario of food borne pathogens.
2. Sea food borne pathogens.
3. Food safety measures.
4. Novel techniques & approaches for detection of food pathogens.
5. Food preservation techniques.
