Survey of Domestic Refrigerator Storage Temperatures in Poland for Use as a QMRA Tool for Exposure Assessment.

In the framework of Quantitative Microbiological Risk Assessment, the estimation of the ingested dose of a hazard by the consumer is of paramount importance. This may be calculated by means of predictive modeling of growth/inactivation of the pathogen studied. For products that spend the majority of their shelf life in the domestic refrigerator, storage temperature will significantly impact the microbial population dynamics.

Quantitative microbiological risk assessment of traditional food of animal origin produced in short supply chains in Poland.

Polish raw-milk cheeses produced in short supply chains may pose a threat to consumer safety due to pathogen presence. is a bacterium of great importance for the food safety of refrigerated RTE foods due to its ability to grow at refrigeration temperatures. During the EU-FORA fellowship, a stochastic risk assessment was designed and executed to estimate the risk for consumers from in these products.

Microbiological Quality and Safety of Traditional Raw Milk Cheeses Manufactured on a Small Scale by Polish Dairy Farms.

Polish raw milk artisanal cheese may pose a threat to consumer safety due to pathogen presence. The aim of this study was to assess the microbiological safety, quality and physicochemical composition of cow’s and goat’s milk fresh cheeses produced by farmers on a small scale. A total of 62 samples of six cheese types were analyzed for Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp.

The Prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in Polish Poultry Meat.

The prevalence, count and molecular identification of Campylobacter spp. in Polish poultry meat were analysed. 181 samples of meat from chicken (70), turkey (47), duck (54) and goose (10) were studied.

[Elaboration of chemotaxonomical detection method of presence Legionella pneumophila cultures in water samples by GC-MS technique].

The aim of this study was elaboration of chemotaxonomical detection method of presence Legionella pneumophila cultures in water samples. In research, the profile of ester-linked fatty acids were specified, which are situated in the cell wall of the model bacteria cultures Legionella pneumophila 33152, which originate from ATCC collection Philadelphia 1 type. The profile were applied as a standard to detection L.
