Currently, detecting and subtyping foodborne pathogens are separate processes, but UGA scientist Xiangyu Deng has combined these two steps through a process called “metagenomics analysis”

The study paves the way for research to understand which types of microbe—such as bacteria—are best at helping cattle to extract energy from their food, experts say
