Botulism – rare but deadly An intoxication in which 30ng neurotoxin can be lethal Consumption 0.1g contaminated food can result in botulism High fatality rate (~10% cases) 7 serotypes of the neurotoxin on chromosome: types A, B, E, F on bacteriophage: types C, D on plasmid: type G Clostridium botulinum Toxin, 150 kDa

FOOD MICROB HUMAN Virulence expression a step towards formulating new strategies for food preservation, predictive modelling and risk assessment.

EU 6th FP. Area: Food Quality and Safety (5.4.4 Area: Traceability processes along the production chain) T Origin and development of unintended micro- organisms in the food and feed chains (IP) The objective is to develop and improve methods for tracing the origin of biological agents contaminating (including as the result of a criminal act) food (also bottled or canned drinking water) and animal feed and to model their development (growth, proliferation and toxicogenesis) as a function of ambient (e.g. temperature and relative humidity) and processing conditions, and their point of entry into the food chain (including the home environment).

Salmonella Rapid methods II

Day 0 Day 1 Day 3 Day 4 25 g feed ml BPW Pre-enrichment Enrichment RVS Selective agar plates Confirmation Day 2 Conventional analysis of Salmonella

Why do we need new methods? *Low detection limit (less than one pathogen per 25 gram) *High specificity and accuracy (no false-negative/-positive results) *High robustness (inter-lab reproducibility) *High Rapidity (at-line and on-line analysis) *Acceptance (validation and standardisation) *Low cost (number of test) *Simplicity (user-friendly and automation) *Sample matrix flexibility (no interference) *Quantitative analysis (food spoilage micro-organisms)

Amplification Growth-based Viable Counts + Detection Limit Quantitative Simplicity - Specificity Rapid Laborious
