- Title
Gail Dack: Food Microbiology Pioneer.
- Authors

- Abstract
Gail Monroe Dack, PhD, MD, was a microbiologist who profoundly affected our understanding and management of foodborne disease. Yet we suspect many modern food microbiologists know little about him or his work. His career spanned the 1920s to 1970s, an era in which the insights, accomplishments, and tools available to microbiologists underwent amazing transitions. One can only imagine the wonder Dack would have today at our ability to analyze the molecular sequence of microbes, sometimes isolated from distant geographic locations, and link them to a single source in an ongoing outbreak.
