Abstract

Pathogenic microorganisms engage an array of virulence factors to successfully infect their host. The expression of such virulence factors is modulated by changes in the biosphere, and chemical cues through receptor-mediated communications. Recent research has identified several sensory mechanisms and compounds that facilitate chemical cross-talk between microbes or between microbes and the external environment, thereby facilitating pathogens to efficiently utilize their virulence attributes. This chapter highlights the various virulence mechanisms applied by microbes, especially foodborne pathogens, and the effects of external environmental conditions and physico-chemical treatments on the expression of major virulence factors, with an aim to develop effective intervention strategies for enhancing the safety of foods.
