Indicator Organism Laboratory Testing
Protect your brand & products
Indicator organism laboratory testing identifies specific, easily detectable microbes that can provide meaningful insights into food quality and safety. Target indicator organisms can share similar environments with pathogenic strains and catch potential contamination events before they happen. For instance, the presence of total coliform bacteria in food can be a red flag for possible contamination by more pathogenic strains like E. Coli O157, Salmonella, or Listeria.
Common target indicator organisms include total aerobic bacteria, coliforms, Escherichia coli (E. coli), staphylococci, and Enterobacteriaceae, as well as spoilage organisms such as lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and mold.
By leveraging Neogen® Petrifilm plates and indicator organism testing as an essential part of your product testing and environmental testing program, laboratories gain valuable insights into the presence and potential risks posed by various types of microbes within a sample.
