Popis: Illnesses transmitted via food are becoming increasingly common and represent a global issue for microbiologists worldwide. Therefore, the efficient and rapid identification of pathogenic bacteria in food control has become a joint imperative. Continued research and controls are essential in efforts to comprehend illness and to protect consumer health. Today, food production and distribution is undoubtedly of high quality. However, despite the highly sophisticated technological production processes, this is not a guarantee of the absence of pathogenic bacteria in produced food.Some diseases transmitted by food are caused by bacteria such as Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes. Given the facts concerning pathogenic bacteria transmitted by food, the objective of this study is to compare methods for the isolation and identification of the Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes from food, for the purpose of shortening the time necessary to isolate and identify the said bacteria.
