At PBR Laboratories, we offer comprehensive microbiological testing services to ensure the safety and quality of food and feed products.

Our microbiological testing services include:

  • ➔ Aerobic and Anaerobic Plate Count: Measures the total number of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms in a sample, providing insights into the overall microbial load.

  • ➔ Enterobacteriaceae Testing: Detects this family of bacteria, which includes several pathogens that can contaminate food and cause illness.

  • ➔ Yeast and Mold Count: Identifies and quantifies yeast and mold populations, crucial for assessing spoilage and shelf stability in food products.

  • ➔ Klebsiella pneumoniae Detection: Screens for this bacterium, which can contaminate food and lead to infections.

  • ➔ E. coli and E. coli O157 Testing: Tests for generic E. coli and the specific pathogenic strain O157, known for causing severe foodborne illnesses.

  • ➔ Staphylococcus aureus Detection: Identifies this bacterium, which can produce toxins that lead to food poisoning.

  • ➔ Pseudomonas aeruginosa Testing: Detects this opportunistic pathogen that can spoil food and pose health risks.

  • ➔ Lactic Acid Bacteria Measurement: Measures levels of lactic acid bacteria, affecting fermentation processes and product quality.

  • ➔ Total Coliforms/Fecal Coliforms Testing: Assesses coliform bacteria presence, indicating potential fecal contamination and hygiene issues.

  • ➔ Listeria monocytogenes Detection: Assesses coliform bacteria presence, indicating potential fecal contamination and hygiene issues.

  • ➔ Bacillus cereus Testing: Identifies this bacterium, known for causing food poisoning through toxin production.

  • ➔ Mesophilic Aerobic and Anaerobic Sporeformers Testing: Tests for spore-forming bacteria that can survive adverse conditions and affect product stability.

  • ➔ Clostridium perfringens Detection: Screens for this bacterium, a common cause of foodborne illness linked to undercooked meat and poultry.

  • ➔ Custom Microbial Testing: We offer testing for additional microorganisms of interest upon request, tailored to specific needs and regulatory requirements.
