Science and society -: Salmonella, stress responses and food safety

The ability of Salmonella to survive in the food chain is due, in part, to its ability to respond effectively to environmental changes. It is unlikely that Salmonella will ever be eradicated from the food chain the results from laboratory research, such as investigations of the response of Salmonella to different stresses, must therefore be translated into improved intervention strategies for food producers and consumers.
