Safe Food: Bacteria, biotechnology, and bioterrorism

Bioterrorism by Biotechnology: Implications for Clinical Medicine

Bioterrorism, Homeland Security, and the Food Supply

Let me express my appreciation for the honor of delivering today the 2002 D. W. Brooks lecture. It is perhaps fitting that here at one our country's oldest institutions of higher learning we will be discussing one of our country's newest threats. Before proceeding, however, let me add a caveat necessary for those of us who work for the federal government. The views you will hear today do not ne...

Editorial overview: Food biotechnology.

Recent and ongoing developments in the area of food biotechnology could help us meet at least some of these challenges: Among many other topics, current efforts include the development of plants having an enhanced nutritional value or the design and construction of microbial strains for the environmental-friendly production of food and feed additives, such as flavors, colorants, amino acids and...

The next target of bioterrorism: your food.

One of the many forms that biological warfare may take is the targeting of major food crops. In a poor country where millions of citizens depend on staple crops such as rice, an act of bioterrorism that destroys the crop would create a famine, resulting not only in malnutrition and starvation but also in reduced immune resistance to a range of common illnesses. To reduce the potential of delibe...
