Proper Citation: ComBase: A Combined Database For Predictive Microbiology (RRID:SCR_008181)

Description: A database of information about how microorganisms respond to different environments. The information in ComBase is referred to as quantitative microbiological data since it describes how levels of microorganisms, both spoilage organisms and pathogens, change over the course of time. The primary goal of the ComBase consortium is to improve efficiency in locating specific microbiological information, provide a more rapid means to compare data from different laboratories, and to reduce unnecessary redundancy in conducting microbiological studies. Cornbase was launched in 2003 The ComBase Initiative is a collaboration between the Food Standards Agency and the Institute of Food Research from the United Kingdom; the USDA Agricultural Research Service and its Eastern Regional Research Center from the United States; and the Food Safety Center in Australia. Its purpose is to make data and predictive tools on microbial responses to food environments freely available via web-based software. The ComBase Database (accessible via the ComBase Browser) consists of thousands of microbial growth and survival curves that have been collated in research establishments and from publications. They form the basis for numerous microbial models presented in ComBase Predictor, a useful tool for industry, academia and regulatory agencies. They can be used in developing new food technologies while maintaining food safety; in teaching and research; in assessing the microbial risk in foods or setting up new guidelines.
