Prepared by Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) and known as The Bad Bug Book, this essential mobile reference brings together in one place information on foodborne pathogenic microorganisms and natural toxins from the Food & Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service, and the National Institutes of Health.
Each section focuses mainly on either one foodborne pathogenic microorganism or natural toxin and provides basic facts regarding their characteristics, habitat or source, associated foods, infective dose, characteristic disease symptoms, complications, recent and/or major outbreaks, and any susceptible populations. In some sections, a closely related group of organisms or natural toxins is covered.
