   The safety and wholesomeness of the food supply depends on our abilities to detect the presence of foodborne pathogens or other undesirable microbes in foods. This must be done rapidly and with sufficient sensitivity to enable industry or governmental decision makers to act in a timely fashion and prevent exposure of the public to danger. This course will provide an overview of rapid microbial detection methods, both current and in-development. Topics will include: historical aspects of rapid microbial detection, the current state of microbiological testing (and why improvements are needed), basic categories of raid testing - phenotypic tests, genotypic tests, whole cell tests, tests for cellular components, etc., existing commercial test formats and kits, automation in testing, sample preparation and "next generation" testing formats now in development.
