Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms that inhabit, create, or contaminate food.This includes the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage; pathogens that may cause disease (especially if food is improperly cooked or stored); microbes used to produce fermented foods such as cheese, yogurt, bread, beer, and wine; and microbes with other useful roles, such as producing ...

Some bacteria are responsible for the spoilage of food. When bacteria breaks down the food, acids and other waste products are generated in the process. [2] While the bacteria itself may or may not be harmful, the waste products may be unpleasant to taste or may even be harmful to one's health. [3]
Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease. [1] This article focuses on the bacteria that are pathogenic to humans. Most species of bacteria are harmless and many are beneficial but others can cause infectious diseases. The number of these pathogenic species in humans is estimated to be fewer than a hundred. [2]
An inspection of a Tom's of Maine manufacturing facility found that the brand's toothpaste was produced with water containing bacteria, and a "black mold-like substance" was discovered at the ...
Human interactions with microbes include both practical and symbolic uses of microbes, and negative interactions in the form of human, domestic animal, and crop diseases. Practical use of microbes began in ancient times with fermentation in food processing ; bread , beer and wine have been produced by yeasts from the dawn of civilisation, such ...
Transmission typically occurs when food contaminated with C. perfringens spores is consumed, allowing the bacteria to produce a toxin in the intestines that causes diarrhea. Outbreaks are often associated with foods cooked in large batches, such as poultry, meat, and gravy, and held at unsafe temperatures between 40-140°F, which allows the ...
Another bacteria, Paracoccus yeei, was found in a final batch of the product Wicked Cool! anticavity toothpaste. “Your investigation concluded, without sufficient justification, that the growth ...
