Metagenomic-based analyses have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the microbiology of food production and processing environments. By adopting such approaches, it will be possible to more accurately determine sources of microbial contamination, identify critical control points for such contaminants, and select practices that optimize quality and safety. This mini-review will discuss the merits of adopting metagenostic-based approaches, highlight novel insights that they have provided to date and consider how they could be further implemented.
基于宏基因组学的分析有潜力彻底改变我们对食品生产和加工环境微生物学的理解。通过采用这些方法，将有可能更准确地确定微生物污染的来源，识别此类污染物的关键控制点，并选择优化质量和安全性的做法。本综述将讨论采用基于宏基因组学方法的优点，强调它们迄今所提供的新见解，并考虑如何进一步实施这些方法。
