Webinar: “Salmonella outbreaks in poultry: from the backyard flock to the processing plant”

UNC Asheville’s Departments of Environmental Studies and Biology present the next in their series of webinars, “Salmonella outbreaks in poultry: from the backyard flock to the processing plant,” by Andrea Etter, assistant professor in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at the University of Vermont. The webinar, free and open to everyone, takes place at noon on Thursday, Oct. 8, via this Zoom link (use the password “seminar”).

Etter works on food safety and microbiology. Her research focuses on understanding (i) the intrinsic bacterial factors which contribute to foodborne outbreaks of salmonellosis, (ii)  factors that lead to long-term colonization of food environments by Listeria monocytogenes and (iii) the prevalence of Salmonella enterica in backyard poultry.
