Rappaport Vassiliadis Medium is recommended for selective enrichment of Salmonellae from food and environmental specimens. This media is designed according to the revised formulation by Van Schothorst et al and is recommended for the selective enrichment of Salmonellae from food and environmental specimens. It is a modification of the Rappaport Vassiliadis Enrichment Broth described by Van Schothorst and Renauld. Salmonella species can be isolated from human faeces without pre-enrichment by using this medium.
