Pathogen Modeling Program Version 7.0
Overview
- This predictive microbiology application was designed as a research and instructional tool for estimating the effects of multiple variables on the growth, inactivation or survival of food borne pathogens.
- Most of the models are based on extensive experimental data of microbial behavior in liquid microbiological media.
-
There can be no guarantee that predicted values will
match those that would occur in any specific food system. Before they
can be used in such a manner, the models should be validated by the user for each
specific food of interest.
- Questions concerning the application and interpretation of the Pathogen Modeling Program should be directed to:
