The fundamental research concentrates on the molecular ecology and genetics of food borne pathogens.
Several research groups in the department work on Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica, Bacillus cereus and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. Applied research is performed in close cooperation with the food industry, with a focus on the characterization of the microbial flora in food. Here, we identify bacteria and yeasts by FT-IR spectroscopy, and we study the biodiversity of food borne microbial consortia and the degradation of prions in food.
The Department of Microbiology runs a microbial diagnostics (including food borne pathogens) service for the food industry. As well, the department offers a consulting service for the food production industry in cases of microbiological quality assurance problems.
