Preparation Note

Suspend 10.52 g of Decarboxylase Broth Base in 1000 ml of distilled water. Add 10 g of either L-Arginine (Cat. No. 11010), or L-Lysine (Cat. No. 62840), or L-Ornithine (Cat. No. 75470). Heat to dissolve the medium completely. When L-ornithine is added, readjust the pH. Dispense in 5 ml quantities in screwcapped tubes. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs. pressure (121°C) for 10 minutes.

Differentiation and Identification Media for Salmonella

Salmonella contamination is the second leading cause of food-borne illness worldwide. Controlling outbreaks of Salmonella is an important task for food regulators, restaurants and the food industry in general. The Salmonella family includes over 2,300 serotypes of bacteria, but two types, Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium, are responsible for about half of all human infections. Most outbreaks of Salmonella are traced back to dairy, poultry and meat products, but Salmonella can grow on nearly any food. Chicken, eggs and their derivative products are particularly high risk.
