Comparison of methods for the isolation of Salmonella from bone meal. 1966

C B Gerichter, and I Sechter

The efficiency of some methods for the isolation of Salmonella from bone meal was studied. Grinding of the granulated, industrial product was found to increase Salmonella recovery. An improvement in the efficiency of the pre-enrichment method was obtained by adding deoxycholate (1%) to mannitol broth. Selective enrichment in selenite cystine medium gave better results than in Kauffmann-Müller medium, when small inocula were used. Experimental data showed that, in the presence of large numbers of coliforms and very small numbers of Salmonella, the Kauffman-Müller medium offers better results, but, in the presence of smaller numbers of coliforms, selenite cystine is preferable. As solid selective medium, Brilliant Green Agar gave, in our laboratory, better results than S S medium.

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

D001647 Bile Acids and Salts Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones. Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
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.
