Introduction ConclusionAbiotic factors Biotic factors

3 main research axes

► Food and xenobiotic metabolism

► Host-microbiota interactions

► Food-borne zoonotic diseases

ENTEROHEMORRHAGIC ESCHERICHIA COLI (EHEC)(O157:H7)

Major food-borne pathogens

→ Bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis

→ Life-threatening systemic complications
