Use of bioluminescent ATP assay for rapid estimation of microbial numbers in poultry meat.

Author(s) : ELLERBROEK L., NGOG-LINH D. L., KRAUSE P., et al.

Summary

With the bioluminescence adenosine triphosphate (ATP) procedure, bacterial ATP can be estimated since non-microbial ATP can be separated from the bacterial ATP or eliminated before ATP measurements are made. The details of several tests are described and conclusions are drawn: summarising the results, a higher microbial contamination is a prerequisite for trustworthy data from the ATP assay. If bacterial numbers are below 5.0 log(10) cfu/25 cm2 or 6.0 log(10) cfu/g, the correlation between the ATP method and the drop plating technique is low.
