Scientists crack genetic code of bacteria
Article Type: Food facts From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 40, Issue 4.
Scientists at Nottingham Trent University have helped to map the genetic make-up of a deadly form of bacteria known to exist in powdered baby formula. The work could significantly help to reduce the possibility and risk of infections amongst babies, along with the development of new and suitable treatments.
Professor Stephen Forsythe – a specialist in food microbiology – has worked to identify the characteristics of over 385,000 regions of the Cronobacter sakazakii DNA sequence.
