Selection and application of methods for the detection and enumeration of human-pathogenic halophilic Vibrio spp. in seafood. Guidance

One of the challenges to data collection to inform food safety decision making and montor the implementation and efficacy of control measures to manage specifc food safety is the availability of the appropriate methodology. The development of methods for the isolation and identific of pathogenic Vibrio spp. in seafoods is evlolving quickly. This often means that methods become more sensitive and efficient but the cost may also increase. However the pace of development also means that there is not always adequate time to to comprehensively validate a method for a particular purpose. This publication aims to provide guidance on the selection on the most appropriate method to meet a particular purpose and how in a constantly changing environment some local validation work can be undertaken to ensure a method meets the current nneeds of a regulator, industry or risk assessor.
