Description Culture-independent analysis as an alternative and/or complementary method for quality control measurements of probiotic products was tested. The combination of PCR and the ethidium monoazide (EMA-PCR) dye is a new method for selective distinction between viable and dead bacterial cells. EMA-PCR was used for distinction between viable and dead Lactobacillus cells in yoghurt samples. Viable and dead cells were detected in nonexpired and 12 day expired products whereus only dead cell were detected in 32 days expired products.
