Directions
Suspend 25 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C and aseptically add the rehydrated contents of one vial of Salmonella Selective Enrichment Supplement (FD275). Mix well and dispense as desired.
Principle And Interpretation
Salmonella are ubiquitous in the environment. These organisms are usually present in small numbers compared to coliforms; therefore it is necessary to examine a relatively large sample to isolate the organisms (1). Salmonella present in food samples may be sublethally damaged during various stages of food processing where they may be exposed to low temperatures, heat drying, radiations, various chemicals (2). These damaged cells are able to cause spoilage, and if ingested cause diseases under favourable conditions. Therefore it is important to resuscitate these damaged bacteria before enumeration.
Salmonella Enrichment Broth Base is recommended for the selective enrichment of Salmonella species within 18-24 hours.
