Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics in the surveillance of foodborne pathogens.
Our discussion covers the evolution of foodborne pathogen surveillance, from traditional methods to modern advancements like NGS. We examine the challenges posed by new business models like dark kitchens and home-based food businesses, and the implications for food safety in light of changing consumer trends and complex supply chains.
The conversation shifts to the technological leaps in public health laboratories, particularly the transition from methods like Pulse Field Gel Electrophoresis to Whole Genome Sequencing. Kevin and Andrew discuss the impact of these advances on foodborne disease outbreak detection and response, drawing on their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
