International Conference on the Epidemiology and Control of Biological, Chemical and Physical Hazards in Pigs and Pork
Iowa State University Conferences and Symposia

The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract

Salmonella sp. are a leading cause of gastro-intestinal disease in humans with tens of millions of human cases worldwide every year. Pork is an important food vehicle of Salmonellosis, resulting in fever, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, and occasionally death. Reduction of Salmonella in the feed-to-food chain is key to reduce the number of human Salmonellosis cases. Furthermore, it has frequently been demonstrated that the use of antimicrobial agents in food animals favors the development of resistance among foodborne pathogens like Salmonella spp. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new antibacterial strategies to reduce Salmonellosis, since antimicrobial resistance is on the rise.
