Quantification and differentiation of lactic acid bacteria and potential pathogens in complex samples

As part of the project, complex samples are analyzed quantitatively for the presence of various lactic acid bacteria species and the presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria and yeasts using cultural and molecular biological methods. The aim of the project is to develop and test a customized set of specialized methods to meet the analytical criteria mentioned above. In addition, this pilot study will provide valuable data set for the planning of a project application.
