Provider: National Board of Public Health Examiners
Description: Bacterial pathogens have unique and efficient capabilities for moving towards diversity and fitness through various mechanisms such as vertical and horizontal gene transfer mechanisms and quorum sensing. Expansion in global travel and commerce, changes in the production and processing of commodities, consumers’ demand for minimally processed products, and growth of the at-risk portion of populations are breeding grounds for novel, emerging, and re-emerging bacterial infectious diseases. Global warming due to the anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases is further fueling these national and global challenges, as minor changes in environmental temperature have pronounced and appreciable effects on bacterial fate and proliferation. The presentation will discuss the impact of climate changes in various regions of the world and further articulate the expected changes associated with public health microbiology, water safety, microbial food safety, and food security.
