CONTENTS:

INTRODUCTION What is the streak plate method? What foods are involved in an outbreak of staphylococcus food poisoning? What type of disease is caused by Bacillus cereus? If you cannot answer these questions now, you will be able to when you have completed this subcourse. For those who already know this material, let it serve as a review.

Why are we interested in microbiology? Microorganisms are one of the major causes of food spoilage and food deterioration in the Armed Forces. Millions of dollars worth of subsistence is lost due to microbial spoilage each year. Additionally, many man-hours are lost due to outbreaks of foodborne illness. Therefore, in order to protect the health of the troops, the veterinary specialist must have a basic knowledge of microbiology.

Subcourse Components:

The subcourse instructional material consists of three lessons as follows:

Lesson 1, Introduction to Microbiology.

Lesson 2, Microorganisms Causing Foodborne Illness and Other Diseases of Public Health Significance.

Lesson 3, Food Spoilage Due to Microorganisms.
