To assess the applicability of the MicroFast® Staphylococcus aureus test strips method for microbiological testing of food products.
This study presented a comprehensive validation of the test chart method, followed the performance specifications set out in the International Organization for Standardization ISO 16140—2: 2016. The validation covered its inclusiveness, exclusiveness and consistency with the test results of the current national standards. The results of both methods were statistically analyzed using t-test and Bland-Altman.
All 30 Staphylococcus aureus target strains showed typical purple colony characteristics on MicroFast test slices; 3 of the 30 non-target strains had atypical blue colonies, and no colony growth was observed colony growth on 27 strains the test slices. After correlation analysis, the MicroFast® Staphylococcus aureus test piece method showed a significant positive correlation with the results of the second method of GB 4789.10—2016 Food safety national standard-Food microbiological test-Staphylococcus aureus test, with a correlation coefficient (r) value of more than 0.976. The suitability of the test slices was also evaluated for a variety of food types, and the calculated β-expected tolerance intervals were all within ±0.5 logarithmic range.
MicroFast® Staphylococcus aureus test pieces have good inclusiveness and exclusivity, consistency and equivalence with current national standard methods, and are suitable for the quantitative detection of Staphylococcus aureus in food.
