BS PD CEN ISO/TS 18867:2015

BS PD CEN ISO/TS 18867:2015 specifies two horizontal methods for detection of the pathogenicbioserotypes of Y. enterocolitica and one for detection of Y. pseudotuberculosis by using real-time PCRbasedmethods. The described methods allow for the detection of the two pathogens in enrichmentsand allow the isolation of colonies. Y. pestis, the causative agent of bubonic and pneumonic plagueharbours a variant of the ail gene as well and will be detected by the same primer/probe set as Y.pseudotuberculosis. However, Y. pestis is normally not associated with food. This Technical Specificationis applicable to products for human consumption, animal feeding stuffs, and environmental samples.Cross References:ISO 6887-1ISO 10273ISO 20837ISO 20838ISO 22119 ISO 22174ISO 11133ISO 7218
