Microbiology of the food chain. Horizontal method for the detection and enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae – Detection of Enterobacteriaceae
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
BSI | 2017 | 28 |
This document specifies a method, with enrichment, for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae. It is applicable to
-
products intended for human consumption and the feeding of animals, and
-
environmental samples in the area of primary production, food production and food handling.
This method is applicable
-
when the microorganisms sought are expected to need resuscitation by enrichment, and
-
when the number sought is expected to be below 100 per millilitre or per gram of test sample.
A limitation on the applicability of this document is imposed by the susceptibility of the method to a large degree of variability (see Clause 11).
NOTE Enumeration can be carried out by calculation of the most probable number (MPN) after incubation in liquid medium. See Annex A.
