“…These data, although preliminarily limited to raw milk, highlight the potential of the MBS method as a valid tool for reliable microbiological analysis for the dairy industries and for producers of non-pasteurized milk and cheeses. Its features, including simplicity (just put raw milk to the vial, no need of sample preparation, no need of expert technicians nor of a microbiological laboratory [14]), accuracy (as accurate as classical methods [15,16]), and rapidity (5 to 15-fold faster than classical methods, as here reported), make it particularly suitable for use in small and medium-sized dairy companies for routine analysis and to improve the quality of their products [17].…”

The consumption of dairy products and the dairy industry is one of the main global agro-food sectors for size, economic importance and level of technology. Microbiological quality of pasteurized milk or other milk products is dependent on microbiological quality of raw milk. A variety of microbiological count methods is available for monitoring the hygienic quality of raw milk. Among them, the pour plate method is the official essay for counting the number of colony forming units in milk samples according to ISO 4833-1:2013. The aim of the present study is the validation of the Micro Biological Survey (MBS) method, against the reference plate count method, for the assessment of the microbiological quality of raw milk. This comparative study, performed in collaboration with the “Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale del Lazio e della Toscana M. Aleandri” (IZSLT), demonstrates the accuracy of this alternative method for the determination of total viable bacterial count in cow’s raw milk. The results obtained with the MBS method highlighting its potential as a valid tool for reliable microbiological analysis in dairy industries.
