**BACTERIOLOGICAL DEFINITIONS**

**COLIFORMS** Coliforms are bacteria associated with equipment and
employee sanitation. Their appearance or increase in a processed food
indicates insanitary handling and/or contact with improperly cleaned
equipment; and the potential danger to health which may result from such
insanitation.

**E. COLI** *E.coli* is the member of the coliform group of bacteria
found in the intestinal tract of animals. Thus, its presence in foods is
an indication of direct fecal pollution, and of the potential danger to
health associated with such pollution.

> **COAGULASE-POSITIVE** Coagulase-Positive Staphylococci are bacteria
> which can cause food poisoning **STAPHYLOCOCCI** when present in
> appreciable numbers. Staphylococci are present on the skin\
> and in the nasal passages; and, thus, their presence in food is more
> directly\
> associated with employee sanitation.
>
> **AEROBIC PLATE COUNT** Aerobic Plate Count is a measure of the number
> of living bacteria that can grow in the presence of air at 35°\[C\].
> It serves as a guide to the conditions of general sanitation in a
> plant. The count in a product will increase as a result of insanitary
> handling, contact with improperly cleaned equipment, and/or prolonged
> holding at room temperature.
>
> **SALMONELLA AND** *Salmonella and Arizona* bacteria cause a bacterial
> food infection. Food may\
> **ARIZONA** become contaminated directly or indirectly from contacting
> human excreta,\
> human carriers of the disease, or food products of animal origin
> *(meat, poultry,\
> eggs, etc.)*. The organisms should be eliminated from foods and animal
> feeds\
> by appropriate heat or chemical treatment and improved sanitation.
>
> **VIBRIO** *Vibrio parahaemolyticus* is a cholera-like bacterium of
> marine origin which can\
> **PARAHAEMOLYTICUS** cause food-borne disease. Seafoods and seafood
> products are primarily\
> responsible for the reported outbreaks. Thorough cooking, avoidance
> of\
> recontamination after cooking and refrigerated storage of such
> products are\
> effective control measures. The microorganism is destroyed by heating
> above\
> \[57°C\] and growth is prevented by refrigeration below \[7°\].

#### FECAL STREPTOCOCCI Fecal streptococci (Enterococci) are bacteria commonly found in the intestinal tract of man and animals. Thus, their presence in foods may indicate fecal pollution and/or insanitary food processing practices. Their disease-producing potential by transmission in foods if inconclusive

#### CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS *Clostridium perfringens* is a spore-forming bacterium which is widely distributed in nature and is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract of animals and man. When heat resistant spores of this bacterium survive cooking and microorganism can grow in foods which are improperly refrigerated and, when present in large numbers, may cause food poisoning.
