Abstract:
This study concerning bacteriological controls of food for immuno-suppressive patients have shown that food sterilized in sterilizer or with pressure-cooker contains sporulated bacteria after treatment. Unit packaging or freeze-drying commercial foods offer no bacteriological quality guarantees. Clinicians have to define acceptable contamination rate according to their patients' condition.
