Abstract: The time demanding conventional microbiological methods do not fulfil requirements of food hygiene practice that stress rapid obtaining of results when evaluating effectiveness of sanitation. The bioluminescence methods based on determination of ATP are new modern methods advantageous with regard to their rapidity, simplicity, low time, easy manipulation. The results obtained in a dairy plant showed that disinfection was effective in all sections with the exception of swabs taken from cottage cheese production. In this section we recorded on the Floor I and on a Table increased total counts of bacteria and of coliform bacteria. Contamination of this part of premises was supported by the ATP results. The mentioned counts changed after some time up to the beginning of production and corrective measures were taken on the basis of ATP swabs. Thus the practical use of bioluminescence method in food hygiene is justified as it allows to take corrective measures.
