Lisa loves this chart; it's on our fridge
Food & Drug Administration: Foodborne Pathogens
Food & Drug Administration: Foodborne Pathogens
The FDA has some amazing resources for sourcing potential culprits. The chart at left has been on my fridge (at home and work) for years. You can also find it as a table (or a PDF in English or Spanish).
Their whole site has great information on foodborne pathogens.
If you need details, check out their The Bad Bug Book
Also, explore how they do Recalls, Outbreaks, and Emergencies.
