A note on the use of Rappaport-Vassiliadis medium (R10/RV) for the isolation of salmonellas from sewage and sewage sludges. 1985

D C Watson

The use of a modified Rappaport broth for the selective enrichment of salmonellas in sewage sludge is described. Comparative trials were carried out using Muller Kauffman--Tetrathionate (MKT) broth and Rappaport-Vassiliadis (R10/RV) medium for selective enrichment. Results have indicated that R10/RV broth is more selective and is to be preferred for routine monitoring.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
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.
D012722 Sewage Refuse liquid or waste matter carried off by sewers. Sludge,Sludge Flocs
D014871 Water Microbiology The presence of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in water. This term is not restricted to pathogenic organisms. Microbiology, Water
