Description:
Compact Dry is a simple and safe procedure for determining and quantifying microorganisms in foodstuffs, cosmetics and other raw materials, including pharmaceuticals. The ready-to-use Compact Dry chromogenic plates are suitable for both in-process and final product controls.
Enterococcus spp. are found abundantly in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. Therefore, this can be used as an be used as an index of good hygiene and sanitation. The high count of Enterococcus spp. in the environment and food samples means that the food samples means that the company did not comply with proper environmental monitoring. Most species of Enterococcus spp. are considered "low-grade" pathogens, but some are opportunistic and can produce several types of virulence factors with broad resistance against different antibiotics
