Oxoid launches new Rapid Culture Method for Salmonella in food

摘要

Oxoid a world leader in microbiology, announces the launch of a new culture method for the improved isolation, differentiation and identification of Salmonella species from foods. The Oxoid Salmonella Rapid Culture Method has been developed to ensure excellent recovery of Salmonella, providing presumptive positive colonies in just 42 hours - some 24 to 48 hours earlier than by traditional culture methods. The Oxoid Salmonella Rapid Culture Method combines the features of two Oxoid products -ONE Broth-Salmonella and Oxoid Salmonella Chromogenic Medium Mark II (OSCM II). ONE Broth-Salmonella is a highly nutritious enrichment broth containing a specific growth promoter to ensure excellent recovery of stressed and damaged Salmonella cells, whilst inhibiting the growth of competing micro-organisms. This highly effective medium allows enrichment to be performed in a single 18 hour incubation, eliminating the need for a secondary enrichment.
