This part of ISO 6888 specifies a horizontal method for the enumeration and detection of coagulase-positive
staphylococci, using the most probable number (MPN) technique. It is applicable to
products intended for human consumption and the feeding of animals, and
environmental samples in the area of food production and food handling.
This method is recommended for products where staphylococci are expected to be stressed and in low
numbers as, for example, in dried products. Coagulase-positive staphylococci will primarily be Staphylococcus
aureus but Staphylococcus intermedius and some strains of Staphylococcus hyicus also produce coagulase.
Diese ÖNORM beschreibt eine Methode zur zahlenmäßigen Erfassung von bestimmten Mikroorganismen wie Staphylokokkus aureus und anderen in Lebens- oder Futtermitteln.
