BioliSME II · BioliSME II – Demonstration, validation and preliminary promotion of a commercial prototype speedy system for sampling and detecting Listeria monocytogenes

Listeria mococytogenes is one of the most important food-borne pathogenic bacteria, having “zero tolerance” in ready-to-eat and dairy foods. Currently, a novel system for monitoring the contamination levels in industrial food producing plants in a more fast, safe and efficient manner than current tools is being developed in the framework of the BioliSME project (Project No: 232037). Although the project is still active, the individual components of the final system have been developed beyond the stage of “proof-of-concept”. Therefore, the Project Consortium (comprising 4 SMEs and 3 RTD performes) wishes to launch a follow-up project (BioliSME II) in order to demonstrate, validate and promote (at an exploratory commercial level) the novel assay system for L. mococytogenes.The Project will be implemented in the following Work Packages:WP1 - Subsystem integration to final demonstratorWP2 - Production of several demonstratorsWP3 - Organization and execution of trial testsWP4 - IP protectionWP5 - Validation and disseminationWP6 - Management
