The Enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in Foods and Dietary Supplements by plating involves spreading a sample onto selective agar plates, providing an environment conducive to Staphylococcus aureus growth. After incubation, colonies are counted, allowing for the quantification of Staphylococcus aureus in the sample. This plating method is crucial for assessing food safety, ensuring that products meet microbiological quality standards. Staphylococcus aureus enumeration aids in preventing foodborne illnesses by identifying and managing potential contamination, supporting quality control measures in the food and dietary supplement industries.
