Opis: Campylobacteriosis is an infection caused by Campylobacter, most commonly C. jejuni. It produces an inflammatory, sometimes bloody, diarrhea or dysentery, including cramps, fever and abdominal pain. The debilitating neurological disorder, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), as well as reactive arthritis have also been associated with recent infections with certain <i>C. jejuni strains. C. lari </i>and the emerging pathogen,<i> C. upsaliensis</i>, have also been reported in a small percentage of cases of human Campylobacter infection.<i> Campylobacter</i> <i>spp.</i> are highly infectious - as few as 500 bacteria can cause illness. There is an increasing demand for Campylobacter testing in food to meet regulations regarding Campylobacter levels in poultry. The majority of Campylobacter spp. are relatively metabolically inactive, making identification based on biochemical characteristics difficult. Currently, the most commonly used techniques to test food products for Campylobacter are traditional methods based on culture media. Innovative, rapid tests make screening for pathogenic organisms easier. The one-step format reduces the possibility of errors during handling.

Opis: Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most widely distributed foodborne pathogens in the world and is responsible for severe infections in immunocompromised persons, pregnant women and neonates. As a result, the mortality rate in infected individuals is high despite the relatively low number of cases around the world. Listeria infections (listeriosis) can result in anything from mild gastroenteritis to severe cases of sepsis, meningitis, encephalitis or abortion. Due to the ubiquitous distribution of<i> Listeria</i> and their capability to grow at refrigeration temperatures ( 2 to 8 °C), food products constitute one of the main sources of infection.<i> Listeria</i> is a genus of Gram-positive, non-sporeforming, rod-shaped bacteria. Of the six known species of the genus Listeria,<i> Listeria monocytogenes</i> deserves particular mention as a human and animal pathogen;<i> L. ivanovii </i>is only pathogenic in animals, while<i> L. innocua</i>,<i> L. seeligeri</i>,<i> L. grayi</i>, and<i> L. welshimer</i>i are considered harmless environmental bacteria. Consequently, food legislation in many countries specifies strict limits for<i> Listeria spp.</i> or<i> Listeria monocytogenes</i>. In the conduct of risk-related quality controls in food, tests should be run for<i> L. monocytogenes</i>, and for the Listeria Genus in general. The presence of Listeria – in particular of<i> L. innocua</i> – is an indicator for critical hygienic conditions in the production process. Innovative, rapid tests make screening for pathogenic organisms easier. The one-step format reduces the possibility of errors during handling.
