IDF Bulletin on butyric clostridia testing methods published
07.03.2025IDF Bulletin 533/2025
SY-LAB has developed a very specific and high-resolution rapid method for the quantification of cheese spoiling clostridial spores.
Method characteristics as well as performance data of the AMP-6000 method as well as all the other butyric spore counting methods in use are listed in the new Bulletin of the International Dairy Federation 533/2025 Considerations on methods for spore counting of butyric acid forming ("cheese spoiling") clostridia.
This document may help to better understand methodological differences and will help to compare and interpret results obtained with the different methods.
The Bulletin is unfortunately not open access but can be aquired directly from the IDF website (link).
