German term or phrase: Ausschlusskeime
Im Labor werden zweimal pro Jahr der Boden, Wände, Geräte sowie die Luft auf MIBI und Ausschlusskeime geprüft

This does not seem to be an accepted term (only 4 google hits), and I have tried various combination of "germ" and "exclusion" or "elimination" but have not come up with a good term. Thanks!

exclusion [micro]organisms


Explanation:


Animals are free from a defined set of pathogenic organisms that may cause clinical or subclinical disease. The health status will depend on individual lists of exclusion organisms. It is important to realize that SPF is not a standardized definition and that mice from different facilities may have different pathogens.

In terms of Listeria monocytogenes control, the University of Georgia’s research into using competitive exclusion organisms in the drain to out-compete Listeria in this critical environmental niche looks very promising, and a major commercial sanitation supplier has expressed interest in taking this technology from the laboratory into a real-world setting.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for the suggestion. This sounds almost too complex for something which I think is a general term for "contamination". I have a few more days, so will wait and see if a Swiss microbiologist turns up!

Reference information:
Could it simply mean pathogens that need to be excluded?

Modernste Chiptechnologie für die Detektion von Bakterien in Lebensmitteln wurde in Form des NUTRI®Chips entwickelt. Der NUTRI®Chip ermöglicht den simultanen, qualitativen Nachweis von Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp. Und Campylobacter jejuni/col. Diese Krankheitserreger sind die wichtigsten Ausschlusskeime in Lebensmitteln.
