Foodborne Pathogens
A pathogen is a synonym for a disease-causing microorganism. Food pathogens represent a special form of microbial pathogens, which are picked up and spread through food.
Below a number of pathogens are listed, for which BIOTECON Diagnostics offers suitable foodproof® DNA extraction and real-time PCR detection kits. Many of the pathogen kits have been certified by recognized institutions such as AOAC-RI, MicroVal or NordVal (see licensing options / validations), and thus independently tested for quality and safety.

foodproof® Enterobacteriaceae plus Cronobacter Detection Kit
The foodproof Enterobacteriaceae plus Cronobacter Detection Kit allows simultaneous detection of genus Cronobacter (E. sakazakii) and the family Enterobacteriaceae by real-time PCR. Since 2005, laws requiring the investigation of powdered infant formula for the pathogenic genus Cronobacter also recommend screening for the family Enterobacteriaceae as a hygiene indicator.
The foodproof Enterobacteriaceae plus Cronobacter Detection Kit combines these two parameters, making it the only kit on the market that complies with the statutory requirements in a single test.
