The MBS test is based on a colorimetric method recently developed and patented by “Roma Tre” University, Italy. The evaluation of the performance of the MBS method was carried out by comparison with plate count at 30°C (gold standard) and flow cytometry. Thirteen independent set of experiments were performed analyzing a total of 104 samples of cow raw milk with the selected methods. Results obtained using the MBS method are comparable with those obtained with the plate count method at 30°C (CFU/mL) and flow cytometry technology; in particular, the results obtained with the MBS method are very close to plate count’s at 30°C. On the other hand, there are statistically significant differences between these two methods’ and flow cytometry technology’s results that could be due to the different experimental conditions.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Italian Journal of Food Safety}, author={Cornacchia, Alessandra and Saletti, Maria Antonietta and Di Marzio, Violeta and Salini, Romolo and Marfoglia, Cristina and Tieri, Elga and D’Alterio, Nicola and Marri, Nicla and Losito, Francesca and Arienzo, Alyexandra and Murgia, Lorenza and Antonini, Giovanni and Amatiste, Simonetta and Leboffe, Loris and Pomilio, Francesco}, year={2020}, month={Nov.} }
