Aims of SchemeThe aim of the Quality in Microbiology scheme (QMS) is to enable laboratories performing the microbiological analysis of food and dairy products to monitor their performance and compare it with that of their peers. QMS also aims to provide information to participants on technical issues and methodologies relating to the microbiological examination of food and dairy products.
Further information on the scheme organisation, the test materials, and the statistical analysis of data are available in the QMS Scheme Description and the LGC PT General Protocol.
Performance AssessmentOnce a PT round has closed, the results will be analysed and the assigned value determined for each analyte, according to the criteria provided in the Scheme Description. Information regarding the traceability of each calculated assigned value is also provided in the Scheme Description.
For quantitative data, the participant’s result, x, (or log10 x for microbiological data) is converted into a z score using the following formula;
z = (x - X) SDPA
X = Assigned valueSDPA = Standard deviation for proficiency assessment
For quantitative data, the uncertainty of the assigned value is calculated to ensure that it would have a negligible effect on participants’ performance scores. If the uncertainty of the assigned value is greater than 0.3 x SDPA, then this is not considered negligible. In this situation, a z’ (z prime) performance score is automatically calculated rather than a z score, in order to take account of the measurement uncertainty of the assigned value. The z’ score is calculated using the following formula;
z’ = (x - X) √(SDPA2 + UxAV2)
X = Assigned value SDPA = Standard deviation for proficiency assessmentUxAV= Uncertainty of the assigned value ____ Expanded SDPA = √(SDPA2 + UxAV2)
Trend graphs will use a mixture of z and z’ scores, i.e. the ‘performance score’ for the round.
For quantitative data, gross errors or blunders are removed from the data by removal of any results that are greater than the assigned value ± 5 x SDPA. These results are not used in the final calculation of the assigned value and other summary statistics and will be included in the number of ‘Excluded Results’. All results, including excluded results, will be given a performance score.
For the purposes of performance assessment for a single round, z and z’ scores are interpreted as follows:
z/z’ score Interpretation Colour codingçzç≤ 2.00 Satisfactory result Green2.00 < çzçand < 3.00 Questionable result Amberçzç≥ 3.00 Unsatisfactory result RedNo score given See below No colour coding
Performance scores will not be given for the following:
§ For qualitative results, where satisfactory performance is based on the participants reporting the same result as the assigned result. E.g. detected, not detected. For these results, colour coding of green (satisfactory) or red (unsatisfactory) will apply.
§ For results of zero; such a result is not normally appropriate and should not be reported, the result should be reported as less than the detection limit rather than zero.Note: for a very small number of analytes it may be appropriate to report a result of zero, depending on the type of measurement scale being used.
§ For quantitative results where the analyte under test is present in the test material but participants report zero results or greater than results. In these cases, it is not possible to allocate a performance score and participants should assess their performance based on the assigned value and satisfactory range given.
§ For quantitative results where the analyte under test is present in the test material but participants report a ‘less than’ value. In these cases, it is not possible to allocate a numeric performance score, however, where the ‘less than’ value reported is < (AV-3*SDPA) the ‘less than’ value will be assessed as unsatisfactory (red colour coding), where the less than value reported is between < (AV-3*SDPA) and < (AV-2*SDPA), or > (AV+2*SDPA) the assessment will be questionable (orange colour coding) and it is recommend that you assess whether the method used is fit for purpose, and where the less than value reported is between (AV-2*SDPA and AV+2*SDPA) a satisfactory assessment (green colour coding) will be given as such results are deemed to be consistent with the assigned value.
§ For quantitative results, for microbiological test materials, where the analyte under test is not present in the test material, the assigned value will be classified as ‘Absent’. Results reported as ‘less than’ at or below the detection level for our method of confirmation will be assessed as satisfactory (green colour code). Results reported at a higher detection level will not be assessed and participants will need to use their own judgement to determine whether their result is fit for its intended use. Results reporting a positive count will be assessed as unsatisfactory (red colour code).
§ For quantitative results, for chemistry or clinical test materials, where the analyte under test has not been spiked into the test material, the assigned value will be classified as ‘Zero Spike’. A ‘less than’ value reported at or below the detection level, set as the assigned

Round: 265Scheme: Food Microbiology (QMS)the assigned value will be classified as ‘Zero Spike’. A ‘less than’ value reported at or below the detection level, set as the assigned value, will be assessed as satisfactory (green colour code). A ‘less than’ value reported above the detection level will not be assessed and participants will need to use their own judgement to determine whether their result is fit for its intended use. Positive, numeric, results which are below the detection level, set as the assigned value, will not be assessed, whilst those that are greater than the assigned value will be assessed as unsatisfactory (red colour code).
In some cases, performance scores may not be provided or may be provided but with colour coding suspended (indicating that scores need to
be interpreted with caution). For example:
§ For small data sets where less than 8 results have been submitted and the assigned value is derived using a consensus value from the participants’ results. In these circumstances, there may be increased uncertainty of the assigned value, given the low number of participants, and performance scores will be given for information only.
§ In cases where the distribution of the results gives cause for concern e.g. bi-modal data sets. These circumstances will be dependent on the statistical design that is in place.
§ If the assigned value falls below a concentration threshold (only applies to some schemes).
In these or similar circumstances, further explanation as to the reasons for suspension of performance scoring or colour coding, and on the interpretation of results, will be given in the report.
Note: Data displayed in the report will have been rounded to the required number of decimal places. However statistical calculations will have been performed on unrounded data. For this reason, there may appear to be differences between displayed data and calculated data, but this does not affect results in any way.
ConfidentialityA unique laboratory reference code is used to report results in order to ensure confidentiality.

For quantitative testing, one-way ANOVA is used to estimate the analytical and sampling variance. For the sample to be considered sufficiently homogeneous for use in the PT scheme, the calculated sampling variance must be less than a critical value calculated according to the procedure described in the ISO 13528 [1].
For qualitative testing, the target analyte must be detected in 100% of test materials analysed.
For any analyte which has not been proven to be sufficiently homogeneous, and any closely related analytes, the value set for the SDPA may be suspended in order to take account of any potential inhomogeneity. The actual value used for the standard deviation for proficiency assessment is shown at the foot of the results and z-score tables in this report.
Often a particular test material does not require homogeneity assessment prior to distribution. Such sample types include standard solutions and aqueous solutions.
Test materials provided under the LGC scope of accreditation are assessed to ensure that they are sufficiently stable for the duration of the PT round. If test materials are subsequently shown to have changed significantly through the time of the PT round either, the effect of the instability will be quantified and taken into account in the performance evaluation or participant performance will not be evaluated.

Comments
The sample contained Salmonella Senftenberg at an assigned value of 80,000 cfu/g.
Salmonellae are Gram-negative non-spore forming rods that are oxidase negative and catalase positive, and are members of theEnterobacteriaceae family. Almost all Salmonella serotypes cause acute gastro-enteritis and account for a large proportion of all foodpoisoning outbreaks. Primary sources of Salmonellae are the gastrointestinal tract of animals; the organism can be transmitted via faecesinto soil, water, feeds, foods and other animals, including humans.

The sample contained Cronobacter sakazakii at an approximate level of 20 cfu/g. The sample also contained Escherichia coli at anapproximate level of 50 cfu/g. The assigned value is Cronobacter species ‘detected’.
Cronobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria of the familyEnterobacteriaceae. Most Cronobacter species have been linked to clinical cases of infection in either adults or infants. The majority ofCronobacter cases occur in adults, however, the majority of neonatal and infant infections have been associated with Cronobacter

Cronobacter cases occur in adults, however, the majority of neonatal and infant infections have been associated with Cronobactersakazakii. Cronobacter species can cause meningitis or serious gut infections in newborn infants and premature babies are particularly atrisk. Cronobacter species are widespread and can be found in milk powder, cereals, chocolate, potato flour and pasta as well as in domesticenvironments.

The sample contained Salmonella Bracknell at an approximate inoculum level of 12 cfu/g. The assigned value is Salmonella species‘detected’.
Salmonella Bracknell is characteristic of the genus on selective media and in confirmatory tests; it is H2S positive, motile, lactose negative,citrate positive and urease negative. The organism is a group G2 Salmonella according to the Kauffmann-White Scheme, with a fullserological profile of ‘O’ antigen: 13, 23; ‘H’ phase 1 antigen: b and ‘H’ phase 2 antigen: 1, 6.
Salmonellae are Gram-negative non-spore forming rods that are oxidase negative and catalase positive, and are members of theEnterobacteriaceae family. Almost all Salmonella serotypes cause acute gastro-enteritis and account for a large proportion of all foodpoisoning outbreaks. Primary sources of Salmonellae are the gastrointestinal tract of animals; the organism can be transmitted via faecesinto soil, water, feeds, foods and other animals, including humans.

Comments
The sample contained Listeria grayi at an assigned value of 110,995 cfu/g.
There are ten species of Listeria, the most clinically significant being Listeria monocytogenes, which is pathogenic for humans and animals.While other members of the Listeria genus are not usually implicated in disease, their presence indicates an increased risk of contaminationby Listeria monocytogenes.

The sample contained Enterococcus faecalis at an assigned value of 8,100 cfu/g.
Enterococci are widely distributed in the environment and are normal commensals of the intestinal tracts of animals, birds and humans. Theorganisms survive well in adverse conditions, and are resistant to heat, freezing, desiccation and chemicals, such as chlorine. For thisreason Enterococci are commonly used as indicator organisms, particularly in dried and frozen foods and also potable water samples.

The sample contained Clostridium bifermentans at an approximate level of 50,500 cfu/g. The assigned value is Clostridium species‘detected’.
Clostridium is a large genus consisting of Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobes; they are usually straight rods which are catalasenegative. Some species are strict anaerobes, and some are aerotolerant. Clostridia are often found in soil, some are responsible for humanand animal disease, and others are associated with food spoilage. Clostridia are classified according to the shape and position of theirspores, and by their physiological characteristics.

Comments
The sample contained Clostridium bifermentans. The assigned value is Clostridium perfringens ‘absent’ using a detection level of <10 cfu/g.
Approximately 35% of participants reported an enumeration for Clostridium perfringens. Clostridium bifermentans produces black colonieson TSC and OPSP agars and so can appear as presumptive Clostridium perfringens, therefore further confirmatory tests are required todifferentiate between the organisms. We are continuing to carry out additional confirmatory tests on a number of colonies with results to bemade available to participants on request when analysis is complete.
Clostridium perfringens causes an intoxication form of food poisoning characterised by diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, headache, andfever. Foods most commonly associated with Clostridium perfringens contamination are usually high protein foods such as meat and poultrystews, sauces, gravies, pies, and casseroles.

The sample contained the coliforms Klebsiella oxytoca and Escherichia coli at an assigned value of 22,900 cfu/g
Coliforms are found in human and animal intestines, and their presence in foods is used as an indicator of faecal contamination. However,many coliforms are also found throughout the environment, being isolated from air, soil, water, plants, and animals. The presence ofcoliform indicator organisms in foods may, therefore, be indicative of faecal contamination, but may also be environmental in origin.

Comments
The sample contained Escherichia coli at an assigned value of 4,950 cfu/g.
Escherichia coli is found in human and animal intestines, and, therefore, the presence of the organism in foods is thought to indicate faecalcontamination. It is historically used as an 'indicator' organism, to indicate whether more serious pathogens, such as Salmonella are alsolikely to be present.

The sample contained the coliforms Klebsiella oxytoca and Escherichia coli at an assigned value of 25,000 cfu/g
Coliforms are found in human and animal intestines, and their presence in foods is used as an indicator of faecal contamination. However,many coliforms are also found throughout the environment, being isolated from air, soil, water, plants, and animals. The presence ofcoliform indicator organisms in foods may, therefore, be indicative of faecal contamination, but may also be environmental in origin.

Comments
The sample contained Escherichia coli at an assigned value of 6,900 cfu/g.
Escherichia coli is found in human and animal intestines, and, therefore, the presence of the organism in foods is thought to indicate faecalcontamination. It is historically used as an 'indicator' organism, to indicate whether more serious pathogens, such as Salmonella are alsolikely to be present.

Staphylococcus species are mainly associated with the skin and mucous membranes of warm-blooded vertebrates, but are also found infood products, dust and water. Strains of Staphylococci other than Staphylococcus aureus are commonly referred to as coagulase-negativestaphylococci. They are not normally pathogenic, although they can cause wound and urine infections, and are not normally associated withfood spoilage.

Comments
The sample contained Staphylococcus cohnii at an approximate level of 23,917 cfu/g. The assigned value is coagulase positiveStaphylococci ‘absent’ using a detection level of <10 cfu/g.
The most significant food borne coagulase positive staphylococcus is Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus can be present onthe skin, and in the nose and throat of healthy individuals with no ill effect. It is important to test for it in foods as it can be an indicator ofgeneral hygiene and, and be a causative agent of food poisoning.

Comments
The sample contained Bacillus cereus at an assigned value of 1,573 cfu/g.
Bacillus is a large genus of Gram-positive bacilli that are aerobic, facultatively anaerobic and catalase positive. Bacillus species arewidespread in the environment, and are able to survive in adverse conditions due to the formation of endospores. They are able to survivein heat-processed and dried foods. Many species are normally present in soil and decaying animal and vegetable matter. Cells of bacilli arelarge and commonly adhere in chains.
*Please note, participant performance for this analyte has been assessed using a z' score, rather than a z score, in order to account for themeasurement uncertainty of the assigned value which is not negligible when compared to the SDPA.

The sample contained Staphylococcus cohnii. A large variation in results was observed for this analyte, as the target organism producesvariable results using media and methods that are specifically for coagulase-positive staphylococci. The internal quality control value hasbeen used as the assigned value and colour-coding has been removed. Z scores are provided for information only.
Staphylococcus species are mainly associated with the skin and mucous membranes of warm-blooded vertebrates, but are also found infood products, dust and water. Strains of Staphylococci other than Staphylococcus aureus are commonly referred to as coagulase-negative

Comments
The sample contained Staphylococcus cohnii at an approximate level of 57,000 cfu/g. The assigned value is coagulase positiveStaphylococci ‘absent’ using a detection level of <10 cfu/g.
The most significant food borne coagulase positive staphylococcus is Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus can be present onthe skin, and in the nose and throat of healthy individuals with no ill effect. It is important to test for it in foods as it can be an indicator ofgeneral hygiene and, and be a causative agent of food poisoning.

Comments
The sample contained Bacillus cereus at an assigned value of 1200 cfu/g.
Bacillus is a large genus of Gram-positive bacilli that are aerobic, facultatively anaerobic and catalase positive. Bacillus species arewidespread in the environment, and are able to survive in adverse conditions due to the formation of endospores. They are able to survivein heat-processed and dried foods. Many species are normally present in soil and decaying animal and vegetable matter. Cells of bacilli arelarge and commonly adhere in chains.
*Please note, participant performance for this analyte has been assessed using a z' score, rather than a z score, in order to account for themeasurement uncertainty of the assigned value which is not negligible when compared to the SDPA.

The sample contained Escherichia coli at an approximate level of 115 cfu/g. The assigned value is ‘detected’.
Escherichia coli is found in human and animal intestines, and, therefore, the presence of the organism in foods is thought to indicate faecalcontamination. It is historically used as an 'indicator' organism, to indicate whether more serious pathogens, such as Salmonella are alsolikely to be present.

Comments
The sample contained Escherichia coli at an approximate level of 130 cfu/g. The assigned value is coliforms ‘detected’.
Coliforms are found in human and animal intestines, and their presence in foods is used as an indicator of faecal contamination. However,many coliforms are also found throughout the environment, being isolated from air, soil, water, plants, and animals. The presence ofcoliform indicator organisms in foods may therefore be indicative of faecal contamination, but may also be environmental in origin.

Comments
The sample contained Escherichia coli at an assigned value of 115 cfu/g.
Escherichia coli is found in human and animal intestines, and, therefore, the presence of the organism in foods is thought to indicate faecalcontamination. It is historically used as an 'indicator' organism, to indicate whether more serious pathogens, such as Salmonella are alsolikely to be present.

Comments
The sample contained Escherichia coli at an assigned value of 130 cfu/g.
Coliforms are found in human and animal intestines, and their presence in foods is used as an indicator of faecal contamination. However,many coliforms are also found throughout the environment, being isolated from air, soil, water, plants, and animals. The presence ofcoliform indicator organisms in foods may therefore be indicative of faecal contamination, but may also be environmental in origin.

Comments
The sample contained Campylobacter jejuni at an approximate level of 14 cfu/g. The sample also contained Escherichia coli at anapproximate level of 466 cfu/g. The assigned value is Campylobacter species ‘detected’.
Campylobacter species are present in the intestinal tract of a large number of wild and domestic animals, consequently, they are also foundto occur in untreated waters and can contaminate seafood. Under-cooked poultry and food is thought to be the principle vehicle oftransmission. Raw and inadequately heat-treated milk products have also been responsible for a number of outbreaks.

Comments
The sample contained Lactococcus lactis at an assigned value of 5,000 cfu/g.
Lactic acid bacteria are important in the food, brewing, and dairy industries where fermentation occurs due to their production of lactic andacetic acids. They are beneficial to health and are included in a number of probiotic foods. However, lactic acid bacteria can also causefood spoilage as high levels cause off flavours and odours and lead to a reduced shelf life. Lactic acid bacteria are often inhibitory to othermicro-organisms.

Comments
The sample contained Campylobacter jejuni at an assigned value of 2,683 cfu/g.
Campylobacter species are present in the intestinal tract of a large number of wild and domestic animals, consequently, they are also foundto occur in untreated waters and can contaminate seafood. Under-cooked poultry and food is thought to be the principle vehicle oftransmission. Raw and inadequately heat-treated milk products have also been responsible for a number of outbreaks.

Comments
The sample contained the coliforms Enterobacter aerogenes and Escherichia coli at an assigned value of 20,136 cfu/g.
Coliforms are found in human and animal intestines, and their presence in foods is used as an indicator of faecal contamination. However,many coliforms are also found throughout the environment, being isolated from air, soil, water, plants, and animals. The presence ofcoliform indicator organisms in foods may therefore be indicative of faecal contamination, but may also be environmental in origin.

Comments
The sample contained Escherichia coli at an assigned value of 4,137 cfu/g.
Escherichia coli is found in human and animal intestines, and, therefore, the presence of the organism in foods is thought to indicate faecalcontamination. It is historically used as an 'indicator' organism, to indicate whether more serious pathogens, such as Salmonella are alsolikely to be present.

Comments
The sample did not contain Bacillus cereus. The assigned value is therefore ‘absent’ using a detection level of <10 cfu/g.
In foodstuffs, Bacillus cereus is both a spoilage organism and a causative agent of food poisoning. The organism is commonly found in arange of foods, including rice, eggs, bread, meat, milk and other dairy products.

Comments
The sample contained Staphylococcus aureus at an assigned value of 2,200 cfu/g.
The most significant food borne coagulase positive staphylococcus is Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus can be present onthe skin, and in the nose and throat of healthy individuals with no ill effect. It is important to test for it in foods as it can be an indicator ofgeneral hygiene and, and be a causative agent of food poisoning.

Comments
The sample contained the mould Penicillium chrysogenum at an assigned value of 1,600 cfu/g.
Visible mould growth can often be seen on foods, such as bread and vegetables, and in the environment, such as in bathrooms and airconditioning units. Many fungi are saprophytes, causing spoilage of foods and other commodities.

The sample contained the coliform Enterobacter aerogenes at an assigned value of 2,600 cfu/g.
The sample contained the coliform Enterobacter aerogenes at an assigned value of 2,600 cfu/g. Coliforms are found in human and animal intestines, and their presence in foods is used as an indicator of faecal contamination. However,many coliforms are also found throughout the environment, being isolated from air, soil, water, plants, and animals. The presence ofcoliform indicator organisms in foods may therefore be indicative of faecal contamination, but may also be environmental in origin.

Comments
The sample did not contain Escherichia coli. The assigned value is therefore ‘absent’ using a detection level of <10 cfu/g.
Escherichia coli is found in human and animal intestines, and, therefore, the presence of the organism in foods is thought to indicate faecalcontamination. It is historically used as an 'indicator' organism, to indicate whether more serious pathogens, such as Salmonella are alsolikely to be present.

Comments
The sample contained the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the mould Penicillium chrysogenum at an assigned value of 7,385 cfu/g.
Fungi, including yeast and moulds, are ubiquitous throughout the environment, being found in air, water, soils, animals and foods. They cansurvive adverse conditions by the production of spores. Many fungi are saprophytes, causing spoilage of foods and other commodities.

Comments
The sample contained Escherichia coli O157 (non toxigenic strain) at an approximate level of 25 cfu/g. The assigned value is ‘detected’.
Escherichia coli belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family and the coliform group of indicator organisms. Cells of this organism are typicallyGram-negative rods that are motile, oxidase negative, produce gas from lactose at 37 and 44°C, possess the enzyme β-glucuronidase andproduce indole from tryptophan at 44°C. Some strains of Escherichia coli O157, in contrast, do not grow at 44°C and do not possess theβ-glucuronidase enzyme, so their presence may not be detected on chromogenic agars and in standard laboratory isolation procedures.Differentiation of Escherichia coli O157 from most other strains of Escherichia coli can usually be achieved using sorbitol MacConkey agar,as most strains of Escherichia coli O157 do not ferment sorbitol. There are also commercially available kits for confirmation of suspectcolonies, including latex agglutination kits.

The sample contained Listeria monocytogenes at an approximate level of 24 cfu/g and Listeria welshimeri at an approximate level of 18cfu/g. The assigned value is Listeria species ‘detected’.
There are ten species of Listeria, the most clinically significant being Listeria monocytogenes, which is pathogenic for humans and animals.While other members of the Listeria genus are not usually implicated in disease, their presence indicates an increased risk of contaminationby Listeria monocytogenes.

The sample contained Listeria monocytogenes at an approximate level of 24 cfu/g and Listeria welshimeri at an approximate level of 18cfu/g.
The majority of participants correctly identified both Listeria species in the sample. Failure to detect Listeria welshimeri may be due to thehigher inoculum level of Listeria monocytogenes. Participants who misidentified the species of Listeria present may wish to investigate thecause of this internally.

Comments
The sample did not contain Salmonella species. The assigned value is therefore ‘not detected’.
Salmonellae are Gram-negative non-spore forming rods that are oxidase negative and catalase positive, and are members of theEnterobacteriaceae family. Almost all Salmonella serotypes cause acute gastro-enteritis and account for a large proportion of all foodpoisoning outbreaks. Primary sources of Salmonellae are the gastrointestinal tract of animals; the organism can be transmitted via faecesinto soil, water, feeds, foods and other animals, including humans.

Comments
The sample contained Escherichia coli O157 (non toxigenic strain) at an approximate level of 46 cfu/g. The assigned value is ‘detected’.
Escherichia coli belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family and the coliform group of indicator organisms. Cells of this organism are typicallyGram-negative rods that are motile, oxidase negative, produce gas from lactose at 37 and 44°C, possess the enzyme β-glucuronidase andproduce indole from tryptophan at 44°C. Some strains of Escherichia coli O157, in contrast, do not grow at 44°C and do not possess theβ-glucuronidase enzyme, so their presence may not be detected on chromogenic agars and in standard laboratory isolation procedures.Differentiation of Escherichia coli O157 from most other strains of Escherichia coli can usually be achieved using sorbitol MacConkey agar,as most strains of Escherichia coli O157 do not ferment sorbitol. There are also commercially available kits for confirmation of suspectcolonies, including latex agglutination kits.

Comments
The sample contained Salmonella Indiana at an approximate level of 15 cfu/g. The assigned value is Salmonella species ‘detected’.
Salmonella Indiana is characteristic of the genus on selective media and in confirmatory tests, being H2S positive, motile, lactose negative,citrate positive and urease negative. It is a group B Salmonella according to the Kauffmann-White Scheme, with a full serological profile of‘O’ antigen: 1, 4, 12; ‘H’ phase 1 antigen: z and ‘H’ phase 2 antigen: 1, 7.
Salmonellae are Gram-negative non-spore forming rods that are oxidase negative and catalase positive, and are members of theEnterobacteriaceae family. Almost all Salmonella serotypes cause acute gastro-enteritis and account for a large proportion of all foodpoisoning outbreaks. Primary sources of Salmonellae are the gastrointestinal tract of animals; the organism can be transmitted via faecesinto soil, water, feeds, foods and other animals, including humans.
