I came to this page looking for some simple summary material to use in a presentation, but I find that this information is very out of date, and not relevant to meat spoilage in much of the world. The list of animal diseases that may be transmitted to humans by meat is a largely correct list (except for listeriosis, which is not relevant to the presence of L. monocytgognes in processed meats) but is not relevant to spoilage. The list of microorganisms has out of date names, such as B. proteus, which I think, has been called Proteus mirabilis, since at least the 1970s when I was a student. I am willing to assist in updating this page - but not right now. I can be contacted at ijenson@mla.com.au 196.219.74.122 (talk) 10:32, 11 May 2013 (UTC) ian[reply]
