Description
Antimicrobial substances are given to cattle for therapeutic treatment of infections and so they can be present in milk as residual drugs. The presence of residual antimicrobial drugs in milk is a potential hazard for the consumers since those substances interfere with the intestinal flora, can cause allergic reactions and can contribute to the spreading of resistant microorganisms.
Furthermore, the presence of antimicrobial drugs in milk is a serious technological problem for dairy industry, since antimicrobial substances interfere with milk fermentation which is the basis of many dairy productions.
The detection of inhibiting substances in milk is ruled in Europe by the Regulation 37/2010 EC.
MiRA (Milk Rapid Antibiotic) Test is a microbiological test, set for the detection of residual antibiotics and sulphamides in milk, that uses spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus and a culture medium designed for that purpose.
