Abstract Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) combined with powerful bioinformatic
approaches are revolutionising food microbiology. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of …

Some bacteria can transfer to new host species, and this poses a risk to human health.
Indeed, an estimated 60% of all human pathogens have originated from other animal …

Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of bacterial diarrhoeal disease in many areas of
the world. The high incidence of sporadic cases of disease in humans is largely due to its …

The emergence and re-emergence of plant pathogenic microorganisms are processes that
imply perturbations in both host and pathogen ecological niches. Global change is largely …

The global food demand is expected to increase in the coming years, along with challenges
around climate change and food security. Concomitantly, food safety risks, particularly those …

Microbiology is at a turning point in its 120-year history. Widespread next-generation
sequencing has revealed genetic complexity among bacteria that could hardly have been …

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) will soon replace traditional phenotypic methods for
routine testing of foodborne antimicrobial resistance (AMR). WGS is expected to improve …

Campylobacter is among the most common worldwide causes of bacterial gastroenteritis.
This organism is part of the commensal microbiota of numerous host species, including …

Background Campylobacter is a leading global cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, motivating
research to identify sources of human infection. Population genetic studies have been …

The use of antimicrobials in human and veterinary medicine has coincided with a rise in
antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the food‐borne pathogens Campylobacter jejuni and …
