Over the last decades, the market and consumption of organic products has increased in consequence of the demand for healthy food and without chemical residues. However, organic farming practices such as the use of animal manure and inadequate methods of composting can increase the risk of contamination by enteric pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, the knowledge of organic farming prac…
This postdoctoral project aims to apply innovative predictive microbiology and quantitative risk assessment tools to estimate the health impacts associated with organic produce. These products present an increased market and consumption in Brazil and in the world in consequence of the demand for healthy food and without chemical residues. However, organic farming practices such as the use…
Surveillance data in several countries have shown an increased association of RTE vegetables in foodborne disease outbreaks. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 32% of the foodborne disease outbreaks between 1999 and 2000 had as primary cause cross-contamination. With regards to vegetables, to our knowledge, the factors influencing in the spread of pathogens du…
The consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetables has grown yearly in Brazil and other countries over the last two decades, due to their convenience, freshness and nutritional quality. However, surveillance data in several countries have also shown an increased association of these products in foodborne disease outbreaks caused by a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. During RTE vegetabl…
