Compact CF-L - Coliform in dairy products

CompactDry CF-L - Coliform in dairy products                                         

CompactDry CF-L is a ready to use dehydrated media plate used to detect coliform bacteria in dairy products such as cheese, milk, yogurt, and any products containing lactic acid bacteria. It is specifically formulated to counter the negative effects of lactic acid bacteria on chromogenic substrates. Coliforms colonies are blue to blue/green.

Coliforms are gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, non-spore forming bacteria and commonly found in animal intestines and soil. The term "coliform" refers to enteric bacteria found in foodstuff such as meat, shellfish, dairy products, other foods and in particular, water. Bacteria such as Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter are all coliforms, but the most recognized coliform is Escherichia coli.

Testing for the presence of coliform is important in the food industry, particularly in dairy production.
