The first objective of this work included the development of real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) which is also known as quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays to quantify two species of lactic acid bacteria which play a very important role in cheese ripening:  Lactobacillus delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus  and  Streptococcus thermophilus . The second objective was the comparison of qPCR and plate counts of these two species present in raw cow’s milk cheese samples during different stages of ripening. Thirty-three deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples coming from seven different bacterial species, which were phylogenetically related or commonly isolated from raw milk and dairy products, were chosen as positive and negative controls. The qPCR assays showed a high quantification capacity characterised by their linearity (R 2  &gt; 0.998), PCR efficiencies which were within the range 78.0–90.0% for  L. delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus , and 93.6–100.5% for  S. thermophilus , and quantification limit (10 3  gene copies/ml for  L. delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus  and 10 gene copies/ml for  S. thermophilus ). The importance of our study is in the monitoring of changes in populations of  L. delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus  and  S. thermophilus  contributing to cheese ripening using the newly designed qPCR assay.
