The subject is targeted to complex knowledge of microorganisms responsible for food spoilage, alimentary disease and food poisoning. The first part studies are undesirable genera and species of microorganisms, their characteristics, methods of their identification by both standard cultivation procedures and modern molecular biology and immunochemistry procedures. The focus is on the mechanisms of pathogen´s penetration to the food chain, to the methods of elimination of undesirable microflora in food and food technologies and recent EU legislative concerning microbial safety of food.

Last update: Kubová Petra Ing. (25.04.2018)

Students will be able to charakterise the causes of microbial infections introduced to food, food raw materials and other compounds.

Students will be able to identify and evaluate thesouces and hazards of microbial contamination during the processing, manufacturing and storing of food. They will also know how to handle producive and pathogen microorganisms and they will be oriented in EU legislatie for microbial safety of foods.
