MeRA Test Microbiological test with spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus for the detection of antibiotic and sulphamide residues in meat DESCRIPTION Antimicrobial substances are given to cattle for therapeutic treatment of infections and so they can be present in meat as residual drugs. The presence of residual antimicrobial drugs in meat is a potential hazard for the consumers si
