I am a professional food microbiologist. I created this blog to help ordinary folk and food manufacturers understand food safety so that we can reduce the incidence of food mediated illness. I would like it to become a resource for teachers in schools. If readers send comments or questions, I'll try to incorporate them into future postings. Write to: FoodMicrobiologist.007@gmail.com I hope you find the site useful and perhaps even thought-provoking.

A reader asked me what this picture represented and what is Campylobacter.
The picture is a scanning electron micrograph of Campylobacter jejuni - the spirals are the bacteria and the background is probably a plastic "micropore" membrane, used to trap the cells for imaging.
The image is relevant to the post immediately below it.
