Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP). Seminar on microbiological risk assessment, 28 January 1997

Journal of Applied Microbiology

Abstract

Microbiological risk assessment is an area of growing importance and significant potential, where the underlying science, software systems and databases are developing to the point of real and useful application. It is also an area where the developing science is posing as many questions as it is presenting answers. Key issues emerging from the day included: the need for more sophisticated management of uncertainty, which is much more relevant to microbiological risk analysis than to other applications; the need for global surveillance systems with better compatibility and appropriate peer review; considered assessment of the impact of new molecular-based diagnostic and screening techniques; the explosion of relevant information available, particularly on the Internet, which makes computer literacy essential both to professionals and 'laymen'; and the appearance of software systems which are either tailored for microbiological application or have the potential for this use. The closely associated issues of risk communication and perception also emerged as being vital to the effective application of microbiological risk management to public health issues. Overall, the majority of participants considered the event to have been va...Continue Reading

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
