Chapter 9 Pathogenic agents 2007-12-31 .txt text/plain 6084 357 48 Nevertheless, inadequate technical design and improper management of the composting process may result in survival and transmission of the pathogens involved; therefore, only treatment in a validated process under steady supervision will lead to a hygienically safe product. The capability of a process to inactivate pathogens causing risks that depend on the raw material cannot be judged simply by analysis of presence or absence of indicators (bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic) in the final product. If either the thermophilic process itself or if an additional thermal treatment shall provide the inactivation of pathogens belonging to the indicated level of thermoand chemo-resistance, representative test-organisms must be exposed in a similar matrix as that being treated in a suitable test-body in a defined validation experiment. It could be demonstrated that if dealing with a moderate epidemiological risk, e.g., given in composting source-separated biowastes, Salmonella senftenberg W775 will cover the most relevant viral pathogens causing notifiable diseases in farm animals and which may be present in low concentrations in the raw material. ./cache/cord-288170-i01pdngb.txt ./txt/cord-288170-i01pdngb.txt
