Foodborne diseases could be caused by a wide range of biological and chemical agents or hazards resulting in varying degrees of severity, ranging from mild indisposition to chronic or life-threatening illness, or both. These agents include bacteria, viruses, protozoa, helminthes, and natural toxins, as well as chemical and environmental contaminants.
Foodborne illness or disease caused by foodborne pathogens occurred every year in both developed and developing countries throughout the world. The incidence of foodborne disease is difficult to be estimated globally but it was reported that an estimate of 600 million or almost 1 in 10 people in the world fall ill after eating contaminated food and 420,000 die every year. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, US in 2011 [1] estimated that roughly one of six Americans or 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases. Among these, children under 5 years of age carry 40% of the foodborne disease burden, with 125,000 deaths occuring every year [2].

In 1880, Karl Eberth discovered a bacillus-like pathogen in the spleen and Peyer’s patches of typhoid patients. He was a student of the famous Rudolf Virchow [12]. Four years later (in 1884), Georg Gaffky, a German microbiologist, successfully grew the pure culture of the bacterium [13]. Theobald Smith was the first to discover what would be later known as
To characterise and communicate about this bacterial genus, scientists have used comprehensive
A great number of serovars have been described as a result of O and H antigens analysis initiated by White in 1926 and continued by Kauffmann later in 1941. The species that were defined by Kauffman as ‘a group of related sero-fermentative phage types’ created more than 2000 serovar names according to the species. However, the concept of one serovar one species was discovered to be unsuitable since biochemical test still could not separate most of the serovars. Although the terms serotype and serovar are interchangeable, according to the Bacteriological Code, serovar is now recommended for scientific communication (1990 Revision).
In the early years, Kauffman identified

Serovars designated by antigenic formulae include the following: (i) subspecies designation (subspecies I through VI); (ii) O (somatic) antigens separated by a comma if needed, followed by colon: (iii) H (flagellar) antigens (phase 1) separated by a colon and (iv) H antigens (phase 2, if present) (for example,
Some serovars have peculiarities that are a mutant of normal motile serovars and can change to non-motile. The majority of isolates expressing H antigen exist in two phases: a motile phase I and a non-motile phase II. A Cragie tube can be used to switch non-motile cultures into the motile phase after they have been established in the primary culture [28]. Most

Salmonellosis is a type of food infection that can occur when you eat foods that contain
Non-typhoidal salmonellosis caused gastroenteritis, a condition commonly called as food poisoning. It is a condition resulted from the inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract spread by faecal to an oral route such as enteric fever. Frequently related serovars reported caused gastroenteritis related to outbreaks are Enteritidis, Typhimurium and Heidelberg [37]. Non-typhoidal salmonellosis is the leading cause of death and hospitalisations among other foodborne pathogens in the USA [1], and the estimated cases of non-typhoidal salmonellosis worldwide massively exceed the enteric fever cases.
The incubation period is 12–72 hours as a result of ingesting tainted food or drinking tainted water and dose-dependent on bacteria that infect the intestines [38]. Symptomatic disease in healthy adults occurs if they are being infected with 106–108 CFU/mL
Enteric fevers are severe systemic forms of salmonellosis and occasionally life-threatening illness. Enteric fever that is caused by
The incubation period varied from 6 to 30 days after infection [43] giving rise to symptoms such as gradual fever (38–40°C) over several days, headache, hepatosplenomegaly, myalgias, diarrhoea and constipation when the onset of the systemic disease takes place. Some people develop a transient skin rash with rose-coloured spots, which can be confused with malaria. Therefore, typhoid fever should be suspected in a traveller who is unresponsive to anti-malarial treatment. If left untreated, the symptoms can last for weeks or months. Without treatment, symptoms may last from weeks or months, and it can be deadly [44]. The fatality rate was reported to be at 10–30% if left without treatment but improved to 1–4% fatality in treated patients [45, 46].
Bacteraemia is the presence of viable bacteria in the bloodstream that may occur through a wound, injection or a surgical procedure. Septicaemia is referred to the presence and proliferation of germs in the blood. Septicaemia is a medical term that refers to blood poisoning.

Contrary, non-typhoidal salmonellosis (NTS) incidence is increasing and continues to lead the gastroenteritis cases worldwide affecting 155,000 deaths from 93.8 million cases estimated every year [37]. Epidemiology data are well documented in developed countries, such as the USA and the countries of Europe, but are poorly compiled in less-developed countries like Asian and African countries. Owing to less effective monitoring systems, statistics on salmonellosis incidence are limited in countries of Asia, Africa and South and Central America, where only 1–10% of cases are reported [52, 53, 54, 55]. It was reported that the most frequent serotype in Asia and Africa was

In this chapter, theories and models of mass transfer in gas-liquid, gas-solid and gas-liquid-solid systems with and without chemical reactions are briefly reviewed. Literature data on the mass transfer characteristics in multiphase reactors over the last two decades with applications to the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis are summarized. Moreover, the F-T reactions are described and an overview of the use of Slurry Bubble Column Reactors (SBCRs) and Multitubular Fixed Bed Reactors (MTFBRs) for low temperature F-T (LTFT) synthesis are discussed. The important factors affecting the hydrodynamic (gas holdup, bubble size/distribution) and mass transfer parameters (volumetric mass transfer coefficients) in SBCRs for F-T synthesis, including operating conditions, gas-liquid-solid properties, reactor geometry and internals as well as gas distributors are also discussed. The discussion reveals that the performance of the LTFT SBCR operating in the churn-turbulent flow regime is controlled by the resistance in the liquid-side film and/or the F-T reaction kinetics depending on the operating conditions prevailing in the reactor. Also, there is a great need to understand the behavior and quantify the hydrodynamics and mass transfer in SBCRs operating with syngas (H2 + CO) and F-T reactor wax in the presence of active catalyst (iron or cobalt) under typical F-T synthesis conditions in a large SBCR with an inside diameter ≥0.15m.",book:{id:"4690",slug:"mass-transfer-advancement-in-process-modelling",title:"Mass Transfer",fullTitle:"Mass Transfer - Advancement in Process Modelling"},signatures:"Badie I.

The understanding of causes of flux decline and the ability of predicting the flux performance is crucial for more extensive membrane applications. Therefore, this review focused on the analysis of the interrelated dynamics of membrane fouling and mass transport in the filtration/separation process. Furthermore, findings from various studies undertaken by many researchers to investigate various aspects of these complex phenomena, were analyzed and discussed. These previous studies form the foundation essential for the alleviation of adverse effect of membrane fouling and emphasize the fact that the development of a complex overlapping approach is needed. Investigations of the mechanisms of mass transfer in low and high pressure membranes, analyses of diffusion mechanisms in the membrane pore together with identifications of transport resistances resulting from membrane fouling will allow for a comprehensive understanding and in-depth knowledge of the fouling phenomenon and applicable mass transfer mechanisms.",book:{id:"4690",slug:"mass-transfer-advancement-in-process-modelling",title:"Mass Transfer",fullTitle:"Mass Transfer - Advancement in Process Modelling"},signatures:"Amira Abdelrasoul, Huu Doan, Ali Lohi and Chil-Hung Cheng",authors:[{id:"47402",title:"Dr.",name:"Huu",middleName:null,surname:"Doan",slug:"huu-doan",fullName:"Huu Doan"},{id:"47406",title:"Prof.",name:"Ali",middleName:null,surname:"Lohi",slug:"ali-lohi",fullName:"Ali Lohi"},{id:"151521",title:"Dr.",name:"Amira",middleName:null,surname:"Abdelrasoul",slug:"amira-abdelrasoul",fullName:"Amira Abdelrasoul"},{id:"174544",title:"Dr.",name:"Chil-Hung",middleName:null,surname:"Cheng",slug:"chil-hung-cheng",fullName:"Chil-Hung Cheng"}]},{id:"22262",title:"Modelling of Heat Transfer and Phase Transformations in the Rapid Manufacturing of Titanium Components",slug:"modelling-of-heat-transfer-and-phase-transformations-in-the-rapid-manufacturing-of-titanium-componen",totalDownloads:3291,totalCrossrefCites:8,totalDimensionsCites:23,abstract:null,book:{id:"530",slug:"convection-and-conduction-heat-transfer",title:"Convection and Conduction Heat Transfer",fullTitle:"Convection and Conduction Heat Transfer"},signatures:"António Crespo",authors:[{id:"36414",title:"Dr.",name:"Antonio",middleName:null,surname:"Crespo",slug:"antonio-crespo",fullName:"Antonio Crespo"}]}],onlineFirstChaptersFilter:{topicId:"814",limit:6,offset:0},onlineFirstChaptersCollection:[],onlineFirstChaptersTotal:0},preDownload:{success:null,errors:{}},subscriptionForm:{success:null,errors:{}},aboutIntechopen:{},privacyPolicy:{},peerReviewing:{},howOpenAccessPublishingWithIntechopenWorks:{},sponsorshipBooks:{sponsorshipBooks:[],offset:8,limit:8,total:0},allSeries:{pteSeriesList:[{id:"14",title:"Artificial Intelligence",numberOfPublishedBooks:9,numberOfPublishedChapters:90,numberOfOpenTopics:6,numberOfUpcomingTopics:0,issn:"2633-1403",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.79920",isOpenForSubmission:!0},{id:"7",title:"Biomedical Engineering",numberOfPublishedBooks:12,numberOfPublishedChapters:104,numberOfOpenTopics:3,numberOfUpcomingTopics:0,issn:"2631-5343",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.71985",isOpenForSubmission:!0}],lsSeriesList:[{id:"11",title:"Biochemistry",numberOfPublishedBooks:32,numberOfPublishedChapters:320,numberOfOpenTopics:4,numberOfUpcomingTopics:0,issn:"2632-0983",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.72877",isOpenForSubmission:!0},{id:"25",title:"Environmental Sciences",numberOfPublishedBooks:1,numberOfPublishedChapters:12,numberOfOpenTopics:4,numberOfUpcomingTopics:0,issn:"2754-6713",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.100362",isOpenForSubmission:!0},{id:"10",title:"Physiology",numberOfPublishedBooks:11,numberOfPublishedChapters:141,numberOfOpenTopics:4,numberOfUpcomingTopics:0,issn:"2631-8261",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.72796",isOpenForSubmission:!0}],hsSeriesList:[{id:"3",title:"Dentistry",numberOfPublishedBooks:8,numberOfPublishedChapters:133,numberOfOpenTopics:2,numberOfUpcomingTopics:0,issn:"2631-6218",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.71199",isOpenForSubmission:!0},{id:"6",title:"Infectious Diseases",numberOfPublishedBooks:13,numberOfPublishedChapters:113,numberOfOpenTopics:3,numberOfUpcomingTopics:1,issn:"2631-6188",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.71852",isOpenForSubmission:!0},{id:"13",title:"Veterinary Medicine and Science",numberOfPublishedBooks:11,numberOfPublishedChapters:107,numberOfOpenTopics:3,numberOfUpcomingTopics:0,issn:"2632-0517",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.73681",isOpenForSubmission:!0}],sshSeriesList:[{id:"22",title:"Business, Management and Economics",numberOfPublishedBooks:1,numberOfPublishedChapters:19,numberOfOpenTopics:3,numberOfUpcomingTopics:0,issn:"2753-894X",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.100359",isOpenForSubmission:!0},{id:"23",title:"Education and Human Development",numberOfPublishedBooks:0,numberOfPublishedChapters:5,numberOfOpenTopics:1,numberOfUpcomingTopics:1,issn:null,doi:"10.5772/intechopen.100360",isOpenForSubmission:!0},{id:"24",title:"Sustainable Development",numberOfPublishedBooks:0,numberOfPublishedChapters:16,numberOfOpenTopics:5,numberOfUpcomingTopics:0,issn:null,doi:"10.5772/intechopen.100361",isOpenForSubmission:!0}],testimonialsList:[{id:"13",text:"The collaboration with and support of the technical staff of IntechOpen is fantastic.

Thus proteomics, an area of research that detects all protein forms expressed in an organism, including splice isoforms and post-translational modifications, is more suitable than genomics for a comprehensive understanding of the biochemical processes that govern life. The most common proteomics applications are currently in the clinical field for the identification, in a variety of biological matrices, of biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of disorders. From the comparison of proteomic profiles of control and disease or different physiological states, which may emerge, changes in protein expression can provide new insights into the roles played by some proteins in human pathologies. Understanding how proteins function and interact with each other is another goal of proteomics that makes this approach even more intriguing. Specialized technology and expertise are required to assess the proteome of any biological sample. Currently, proteomics relies mainly on mass spectrometry (MS) combined with electrophoretic (1 or 2-DE-MS) and/or chromatographic techniques (LC-MS/MS). MS is an excellent tool that has gained popularity in proteomics because of its ability to gather a complex body of information such as cataloging protein expression, identifying protein modification sites, and defining protein interactions. The Proteomics topic aims to attract contributions on all aspects of MS-based proteomics that, by pushing the boundaries of MS capabilities, may address biological problems that have not been resolved yet.",coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series_topics/covers/18.jpg",keywords:"Mono- and Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis (1-and 2-DE), Liquid Chromatography (LC), Mass Spectrometry/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS; MS/MS), Proteins"}],annualVolumeBook:{},thematicCollection:[],selectedSeries:null,selectedSubseries:null},seriesLanding:{item:{id:"11",title:"Biochemistry",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.72877",issn:"2632-0983",scope:"Biochemistry, the study of chemical transformations occurring within living organisms, impacts all areas of life sciences, from molecular crystallography and genetics to ecology, medicine, and population biology. Biochemistry examines macromolecules - proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids – and their building blocks, structures, functions, and interactions. Much of biochemistry is devoted to enzymes, proteins that catalyze chemical reactions, enzyme structures, mechanisms of action and their roles within cells. Biochemistry also studies small signaling molecules, coenzymes, inhibitors, vitamins, and hormones, which play roles in life processes. Biochemical experimentation, besides coopting classical chemistry methods, e.g., chromatography, adopted new techniques, e.g., X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, NMR, radioisotopes, and developed sophisticated microbial genetic tools, e.g., auxotroph mutants and their revertants, fermentation, etc. More recently, biochemistry embraced the ‘big data’ omics systems. Initial biochemical studies have been exclusively analytic: dissecting, purifying, and examining individual components of a biological system; in the apt words of Efraim Racker (1913 –1991), “Don’t waste clean thinking on dirty enzymes.” Today, however, biochemistry is becoming more agglomerative and comprehensive, setting out to integrate and describe entirely particular biological systems. The ‘big data’ metabolomics can define the complement of small molecules, e.g., in a soil or biofilm sample; proteomics can distinguish all the comprising proteins, e.g., serum; metagenomics can identify all the genes in a complex environment, e.g., the bovine rumen.

Thus proteomics, an area of research that detects all protein forms expressed in an organism, including splice isoforms and post-translational modifications, is more suitable than genomics for a comprehensive understanding of the biochemical processes that govern life. The most common proteomics applications are currently in the clinical field for the identification, in a variety of biological matrices, of biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of disorders. From the comparison of proteomic profiles of control and disease or different physiological states, which may emerge, changes in protein expression can provide new insights into the roles played by some proteins in human pathologies. Understanding how proteins function and interact with each other is another goal of proteomics that makes this approach even more intriguing. Specialized technology and expertise are required to assess the proteome of any biological sample. Currently, proteomics relies mainly on mass spectrometry (MS) combined with electrophoretic (1 or 2-DE-MS) and/or chromatographic techniques (LC-MS/MS). MS is an excellent tool that has gained popularity in proteomics because of its ability to gather a complex body of information such as cataloging protein expression, identifying protein modification sites, and defining protein interactions. The Proteomics topic aims to attract contributions on all aspects of MS-based proteomics that, by pushing the boundaries of MS capabilities, may address biological problems that have not been resolved yet.",annualVolume:11414,isOpenForSubmission:!0,coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series_topics/covers/18.jpg",editor:{id:"200689",title:"Prof.",name:"Paolo",middleName:null,surname:"Iadarola",fullName:"Paolo Iadarola",profilePictureURL:"https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/intech-files/0030O00002bSCl8QAG/Profile_Picture_1623568118342",institutionString:null,institution:{name:"University of Pavia",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Italy"}}},editorTwo:{id:"201414",title:"Dr.",name:"Simona",middleName:null,surname:"Viglio",fullName:"Simona Viglio",profilePictureURL:"https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/intech-files/0030O00002bRKDHQA4/Profile_Picture_1630402531487",institutionString:null,institution:{name:"University of Pavia",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Italy"}}},editorThree:null,editorialBoard:[{id:"72288",title:"Dr.",name:"Arli Aditya",middleName:null,surname:"Parikesit",fullName:"Arli Aditya Parikesit",profilePictureURL:"https://mts.intechopen.com/storage/users/72288/images/system/72288.jpg",institutionString:null,institution:{name:"Indonesia International Institute for Life Sciences",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Indonesia"}}},{id:"40928",title:"Dr.",name:"Cesar",middleName:null,surname:"Lopez-Camarillo",fullName:"Cesar Lopez-Camarillo",profilePictureURL:"https://mts.intechopen.com/storage/users/40928/images/3884_n.png",institutionString:null,institution:{name:"Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Mexico"}}},{id:"81926",title:"Dr.",name:"Shymaa",middleName:null,surname:"Enany",fullName:"Shymaa Enany",profilePictureURL:"https://mts.intechopen.com/storage/users/81926/images/system/81926.png",institutionString:"Suez Canal University",institution:{name:"Suez Canal University",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Egypt"}}}]}]}},libraryRecommendation:{success:null,errors:{},institutions:[]},route:{name:"chapter.detail",path:"/chapters/35955",hash:"",query:{},params:{id:"35955"},fullPath:"/chapters/35955",meta:{},from:{name:null,path:"/",hash:"",query:{},params:{},fullPath:"/",meta:{}}}},function(){var e;(e=document.currentScript||document.scripts[document.scripts.length-1]).parentNode.removeChild(e)}()
