The "Bad Bug Book"
This handbook provides basic facts regarding foodborne pathogenic
microorganisms and natural toxins. Some technical terms have been linked

glossary. Recent articles from Morbidity and Mortality
Weekly Reports have been added to selected chapters to update the
handbook with
information on later outbreaks or incidents of foodborne disease.
At the end of
selected chapters on pathogenic microorganisms, hypertext links are
included to relevant
Entrez abstracts and GenBank genetic loci. A more complete
description of the handbook may be found in the
Preface.
