MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS [6 records]

Record 1 2017-03-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
  • Food Safety
CONT

Generally speaking, the meat offered for sale in Canadian supermarkets is excellent in terms of its microbiological quality. Even so, regardless of the technology used, the possibility that undesirable micro-organisms may be present in raw meat cannot be eliminated completely...

CONT

Currently available detection methods do not allow for the routine analysis of all microorganisms that could be present in inadequately treated drinking water. Instead, microbiological quality is determined by testing drinking water for Escherichia coli, a bacterium that is always present in the intestines of humans and other animals and whose presence in drinking water would indicate faecal contamination of the water.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
  • Salubrité alimentaire
CONT

Généralement, la viande qu'on trouve dans les épiceries au Canada est d'excellente qualité microbiologique. Néanmoins, toutes les technologies utilisées n'éliminent pas complètement le risque de retrouver des microorganismes indésirables dans la viande crue.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Microbiología y parasitología
  • Inocuidad Alimentaria
CONT

Un producto tiene buena calidad microbiológica cuando sus cargas microbianas son reducidas y constantes (esto es, no presentan variaciones estacionales o de cualquier otro tipo de periodicidad que impiden que el producto sea homogéneo a lo largo del tiempo).

Record 2 2011-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Evidence
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
  • Epidemiology
DEF

... a scientific discipline dedicated to analysing evidence from a bioterrorism act, biocrime, or inadvertent microorganism [OR] toxin release for attribution purposes.

CONT

Microbial forensics combines principles of public health epidemiology and law enforcement to identify patterns in a disease outbreak, determine which pathogen may be involved, and trace the organism to its source.

CONT

Bioforensics, which is sometimes referred to as microbial forensics, or as forensic microbiology, is a developing interdisciplinary field of microbiology devoted to the development, assessment, and validation of methods for fully characterizing microbial samples for the ultimate purpose of high-confidence comparative analyses. It supports attribution investigations involving pathogens or toxins of biological origin used in a biological attack.

OBS

... the ultimate goal of attribution is identification of the persons who committed the bioterrorist act or biocrime, intentionally or inadvertently. In addition to microbiological analytical tools, traditional forensic analyses, such as human DNA analysis, dermatoglyphic patterns, analytical chemistry, tool marks, and other techniques will be used to analyze a bioterrorist event or biocrime evidence.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit de la preuve
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
  • Épidémiologie
CONT

La microbiologie médicolégale est une discipline scientifique relativement récente qui consiste à analyser les données microbiologiques afin d'identifier les coupables d'un crime. Elle se fonde sur la microbiologie et l'épidémiologie classiques, mais dans un cadre juridique.

Record 3 2008-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Safety
CONT

The assessments of risk from hazards in food and water have much in common. A common approach to microbiological hazards in food and water may accelerate development of the science and may also improve the quantity and quality of data available to conduct risk assessments. The hazard characterization step of risk assessment is the one most amenable to a common approach. WHO has been leading the development of risk analysis for the management of public health risks posed by hazards in water.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Salubrité alimentaire
DEF

Évaluation qualitative et/ou quantitative de la nature des effets adverses pour la santé associés aux agents biologiques, chimiques et physiques qui peuvent être présents dans un aliment.

OBS

Pour les agents chimiques, la relation dose/réponse doit être évaluée. Pour les agents biologiques ou physiques, une telle évaluation doit être effectuée si les données sont disponibles.

CONT

La caractérisation des dangers fournit une description des effets adverses sur la santé pouvant résulter de l'ingestion d'un micro-organisme. Lorsque des données sont disponibles, la caractérisation des dangers est censée fournir des informations quantitatives sur la relation dose-réponse et sur la probabilité d'effets adverses.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Inocuidad Alimentaria
DEF

Evaluación cualitativa y/o cuantitativa de la naturaleza de los efectos adversos asociados a agentes biológicos, químicos y físicos que pueden estar presentes en los alimentos.

OBS

En el caso de los agentes químicos debe realizarse una evaluación de la relación dosis-respuesta. En lo que respecta a los agentes biológicos o físicos, si los datos lo permiten debe realizarse también una evaluación de esa relación.

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution de l'eau
  • Traitement des eaux
DEF

Type de réacteur entre le réacteur à flux piston et le réacteur à mélange intégral.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Contaminación del agua
  • Tratamiento del agua
DEF

Tipo de tanque para el cual el grado de mezcla del flujo está comprendido entre el flujo de pistón y la mezcla completa.

CONT

La geometría de los reactores de flujo arbitrario es tal que se pueden combinar los movimientos de fluido caracterizados por los que se encuentran en los de flujo en pistón y continuo.
