Other modern inventions in the feilds of medicines and science
Speaking about other modern inventions in the feilds of medicines and science, microbiologists at Oregon State University came up with a new technology that allows to detect illness-causing bacteria. The development is really revolutionizing for the food industry as it will improve the actual consumers' protection, without the pricey waste and massive products' recalls because of possible bacterial contamination of products that are actually absolutely safe.
The new patented technology for testing food for bacterial contamination and safety is based on the fundamental research on the color changes in pigment-bearing cells taken from Siamese fighting fish. It is believed to be extremely easy to use, time-saving and directly related to toxicity assessment. The microbiologists will perform further studies before the system is ready for commercial use.
Bacterial illnesses related to food and water can result in symptoms from mild stomachache to severe illnesses and in some cases even death. About 76 million cases of the bacterial illnesses are registered every year, costing the U.S. more than 10 billion dollars.
