Abstract

The incidence of acute intestinal infections among the population of the Russian Federation continues to cause significant social and multibillion- ruble economic damage. At the same time, the etiological factor of diseases can be established only in one third of cases. Since the main route of transmission of acute intestinal infections is the food pathway, and the factors of transmission are food, it is quite justified that there is an increasing need to develop and use fast and effective methods of microbiological diagnostics for food control. Currently, they are presented in several versions: fully automated systems and devices for microbiological diagnostics of food products; manual tests for microbiological diagnostics of food products; devices and manual tests to speed up some stages of microbiological diagnostics. All the presented developments are based on various methods. Fully automated systems and devices for microbiological diagnostics of food products have a very high productivity (up to several hundred analyses at a time), which is very convenient and in demand in large laboratories. With the high price of devices, the economic efficiency of their use in such laboratories is also high. For laboratories with a small flow of samples for research, manual tests or kits are more preferable, as well as nutrient media for microbiological diagnostics of food products or to speed up its some stages. High quality and speed of food analysis are essential for reducing morbidity due to consumption of poor quality in microbiological terms of food and economic loss from diseases.
