1990-12-1 · A modified direct epifluorescent filter technique (DEFT) for the detection and enumeration of visible yeast in fruit‐flavoured yoghurt is described. The method involves an initial enrichment in oxytetracycline glucose yeast peptone broth (OGYP, 30d̀C/24, 48 h), prefiltration prior to DEFT and use of the vital stain Viablue 1. Additional yoghurt samples were subjected to prolonged incubation ...
The antibody-direct epifluorescent filter (Ab-DEFT) technique was evaluated as a rapid alternative to the most probable number (MPN) method for enumeration of artificially inoculated Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat packaged salads and other fresh vegetables. Ab-DEFT was performed by homogenization of food in mesh-lined Stomacher bags ...

1986-4-1 · The ability of the direct epifluorescent filter technique (DEFT) to predict the keeping quality (KQ) of pasteurized cream, after an 18-h preincubation stage, was poor unless (particularly with samples that had a corresponding long KQ) undiluted cream was filtered. The DEFT then gave as good, if not better, prediction of the KQ as the plate count.
The direct epifluorescent filter technique (DEFT) for the rapid enumeration of microorganisms is described with particular reference to milk and foods. Recent development with regard to applications and automation, and the likely future of the method are discussed.

Two rapid methods, direct epifluorescent microscopy (DEM) and the direct epifluorescent filter technique (DEFT) on swab resuspension fluids, were compared with the traditional total viable count (TVC) on swab resuspension fluids for their ability to enumerate surface populations of attached bacteria.
1985-7-1 · The direct epifluorescent filter technique (DEFT) and the standard plate count (SPC) were compared in the examination of raw and heat-treated meat products. The most promising results were obtained with raw ground beef, where good agreement was found between DEFT and the SPC.
The direct epifluorescent filter technique (DEFT) was originally developed for counting bacteria in raw milk at the National Institute for Research in Dairying, Reading (Pettipher et al. 1980; Pettipher 1983). The method, which uses membrane filtration and epifluorescence microscopy, takes less than 30 min to complete and does not suffer from ...
In a modification of the direct epifluorescent filter technique (DEFT), direct fluorescent antibody staining was used for the rapid (<1 h), specific enumeration of foodbome Escherichia coli 0157:H7 by epifluorescence microscopy. Cell counts obtained by this method (Ab-DEFT) correlated well with D …
