Bacterial Spores in the Food Industry
Dormant But Dangerous Microbial Contaminants

(Webinar length:  1h 32m)

Overview:

Contamination of food by spores of bacteria is possibly the biggest microbiological issue
faced by the food industry. Spores are a naturally resistant form of two specific groups of
bacteria. The presence of these spores may threaten food spoilage and in some cases food
safety. They originate from a variety of sources and will form under conditions of stress in the
general environment or food systems. The challenge to the food manufacturer is in controlling
spore contamination. As spores are resistant forms of microorganisms, inactivating,
removing or preventing contamination in the first place is a challenge.  

Areas covered in the webinar:

Definition of a bacterial spores
The spore life cycle
Spore resistance
Testing for spores
The origin or source of spores
Problems caused by spore contamination
Testing for biofilms in food manufacturing plants
Types of spore forming bacteria
Control of spores and spore forming bacteria  

Who will benefit from this webinar:

Production Managers
Food Scientists and Technologists
Food Safety Personnel
Microbiologists and Food Processing Engineers
Sanitation managers
Governmental food safety agencies
Consulting organizations
Health care sector
