Food industries and food microbiology laboratories in Cochabamba-Bolivia conducted severaL analyzes to food products to ensure their safety. In this project the requirements of two specific companies were identified: Pairumani dairy industry and food microbiology labo­ratory LIDIVECO-SENASAG, to implement an alterna­tive method to identify and quantify indicator bacteria faster. For this purpose, an analytical, descriptive and quantitative study, where parallel testing culture media and tests traditionally used Petrifilm.
