“…Examination of adaptation and reaction for stress conditions leads to identification of cellular and metabolic biomarkers. Correlation between such biomarkers and adaptive stress allow to predict the influence of environmental and food-related changes on the resistance and survival abilities of microorganisms [ 102 ]. Moreover, molecular biomarkers are useful indicators for early detection of food pathogens [ 103 ].…”

Dietary supplements cover a wide range of products, the most popular are those containing plant-based ingredients. Supplements are consumed by consumers of all ages as well as by both healthy and sick people. The lack of unified regulation in this sector increases the probability that supplements are poor chemical and microbiological quality and can be dangerous for patients. The aim of this paper is to highlight selected issues associated with the microbiological quality of dietary supplements containing plant materials. We focus on the most recent reports referring to bacterial and fungal contaminations as well as the presence of mycotoxins. Dietary supplements containing plant ingredients commonly show a variety of microbial contaminants, which might be crucial for consumer safety. They often contain microorganisms potentially pathogenic to humans. Metabolites produced by microorganisms may pose a threat to the health of consumers. Because of that, in this review, we emphasize the risk that may be associated with the lack of appropriate studies of the quality of the supplements.
