Application

A basal medium to which various carbohydrates can be added to study fermentation reactions.

Preparation Note

Suspend 15.1 g of Andrade Peptone Water in 1000 ml of distilled water. Dissolve the medium completely and dispense in test tubes containing inverted Durham′s tubes. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature and aseptically add a sterile stock solution of a carbohydrate to a final concentration of 0.5% to 1.0% (w/v).

Footnote

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.
