COMPARISON OF TWO METHODS FOR THE ISOLATION OF SALMONELLAE FROM IMPORTED FOODS. 1964

W I TAYLOR, and B C HOBBS, and M E SMITH

Two methods for the detection of salmonellae in foods were compared in 179 imported meat and egg samples. The number of positive samples and replications, and the number of strains and kinds of serotypes were statistically comparable by both the direct enrichment method of the Food Hygiene Laboratory in England, and the pre-enrichment method devised for processed foods in the United States. Boneless frozen beef, veal, and horsemeat imported from five countries for consumption in England were found to have salmonellae present in 48 of 116 (41%) samples. Dried egg products imported from three countries were observed to have salmonellae in 10 of 63 (16%) samples. The high incidence of salmonellae isolated from imported foods illustrated the existence of an international health hazard resulting from the continuous introduction of exogenous strains of pathogenic microorganisms on a large scale.

D012475 Salmonella A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.
