Directions
Suspend 30.07 grams (the equivalent weight of dehydrated medium per litre) in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat gently if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense into tubes or flasks as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 115°C for 15 minutes.
Principle And Interpretation
Modified Rappaport Vassiliadis Medium is a selective broth for the enrichment of Salmonella from foodstuffs, environment and clinical specimens. The original formulation described by Rappaport et al (1) with magnesium chloride hexahydrate was modified by Vassiliadis et al (2) by lowering the concentration of malachite green and raising the incubation temperature to 43°C. This medium is recommended as the selective enrichment medium for isolation of Salmonella from food and environmental specimens.
The test specimen is added to Buffered Peptone Water (GM614/M614) and incubated at 35°C for 16 - 20 hours. This pre-enriched peptone water culture is inoculated into Modified Rappaport Vassiliadis Medium and incubated at 42 ± 1°C for 24 - 48 hours and further subcultured on Brilliant Green Agar (M016).
