Compact Dry X-SA
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.
aureus is a common human microflora, it can be found naturally on the skin, the nose. Because of this, it is commonly used as an index of personal hygiene for food handlers. Therefore, the high population of estafilococos in the food system indicates a lack of hygiene and sanitation. Normally they are harmless, but at high population levels, they can begin to form endotoxins that cause food poisoning by "estafilococos". They can also tolerate low water activity and are opportunistic on foods with high sugar content.
