Book review
Edited by Parviz Sabour and Mansel Griffiths. Published by Wiley, 2010,
400 pp, €138.00
Interest in bacteriophages as alternative antibacterial agents in food has grown considerably, in response to increasing rates of antibiotic resistance, heightened concern over food safety, and consumer demand for ‘natural’ and organic food products. This new book comprehensively reviews the literature on the utilization of bacteriophages in the detection and control of foodborne bacterial pathogens, both pre-harvest (plant and animal production) and post-harvest (food processing).
