Enterobacteriaceae is the family of gram negative, facultative anaerobic rod-shaped bacteria that is the cause of the majority of food borne disease. This large family includes many harmless bacteria that form the flora in the body and environment but also includes pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, Yersinia pestis, Kleibsiella, Shigella, proteus, Enterobacter, Serratia and Citrobacter. The type genus is Escherichia.
This family of bacteria is found everywhere in soil, animals, plants from insects to humans. However, many species populate the gastro intestinal tract and are as such of considerable importance to the food industry. Most species are mobile and adhere to their hosts and produce entero toxins.
Identification of the different genera of enterobacteriaceae is tedious and involves a series of tests like phenol red test, tryptone broth, phenylalanine agar, the Voges Proskauer test, nutrient gelatine test. These tests from biolife are available from Arasains Indonesia.
R-Biopharm Indonesia supplies the Compact Dry ETB. The ready-to-use plates consist of a special 50 mm diameter petri dish containing a detection specific nutrient pad. Enterobacteriaceae can’t build oxidase and can be distinguished from similar genera by this criterion.
Benefits:
Merck Biocontrol Indonesia supplies a rapid single step method for the detection of this family of bacteria. Many European food companies uses this test as an indicator of food quality and contamination. This technology Simplate uses the proprietary binary detection technology to provide quantitative results in 24 hours. The chromogenic agar and microwells provide easy to read results.
Benefit:
Conventional media test require several test but Simplate is a single test and can enumerate to 103.
Enterobacteriaceae is a wide net and this gives you better safety for indicator organism. Moreover it is necessary test for European countries.
