A modified lysine decarboxylase broth has been developed which could be used with a Bactometer M123 to differentiate salmonellas from other bacteria by the characteristics of the conductance detection curve. The medium was used in combination with a selenite cystine trimethylamine oxide dulcitol medium to screen 50 strains of salmonellas and 42 strains of other organisms to establish detection curve magnitude and rate values which could be used to identify curves specific to salmonellas. The combination of media detected all salmonellas tested except Salmonella pullorum. The two media were used to screen 100 inoculated product samples with the Bactometer instrument, in parallel with traditional plating procedures, and using various combinations of pre-enrichment and selective enrichment incubation periods. After 24 h pre-enrichment, the Bactometer system detected more positive samples than the conventional plating procedures after pre-enrichment and selective enrichment. It is considered that these media used in parallel in the Bactometer after conventional pre-enrichment could provide a 48 h screening procedure for salmonellas with a sensitivity comparable to present plating procedures.  相似文献

F ricker , C.R. 1984. A comparison of isolation procedures for salmonellas from polluted water using two forms of Rappaport's medium. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 56 , 305–309.
The efficiency of Rappaport's broth (RB10) and Rappaport's broth containing novobiocin (NRB10) were compared for the isolation of salmonellas from polluted water, both as direct enrichment media and after pre-enrichment in buffered peptone water. Ninety samples were examined and 41 were found to contain salmonellas by at least one of the procedures used. Direct inoculation of the sample into RB10 resulted in the recovery of salmonellas from only 29.3% of the samples found to be positive. The use of NRB10 as a direct enrichment medium increased the percentage recovery to 78.0% of the total positive samples. Pre-enrichment in buffered peptone water allowed the recovery of salmonellas from a total of 41 samples whereas direct enrichment recovered them from only 32. No significant difference was demonstrated in the efficiencies of RB10 and NRB10 in recovering salmonellas after pre-enrichment in buffered peptone water. Three selective agars were used; no significant difference in their ability to recover salmonellae was demonstrated.  相似文献

Seven enrichment media (two proposed by the authors) for detecting salmonellas from polluted freshwater were compared. The Most Probable Number technique for enumeration of salmonellas in water samples was used, directly adding filtered water to buffered peptone water as the pre-enrichment medium. The results indicate that Rappaport-Vassiliadis/43 and Rappaport-Vassiliadis/43 supplemented with 10 micrograms of sodium novobiocin per ml are the best media for the recovery and enumeration of salmonellas from water samples.  相似文献

A lcaide , E., M artinez , J.P. & G aray , E. 1984. Comparative study on Salmonella isolation from sewage contaminated natural waters. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 56 , 365–371.
A comparative study of five factors influencing the isolation of salmonellas from sewage-contaminated natural waters was carried out. The effect of pre-enrichment in buffered peptone water was compared with single-step enrichment in NR10 broth incubated at 43C. A modification of NR10 has been compared with the original composition. Bismuth sulphite agar (BSA), Hektoen enteric agar (HE) and brilliant green agar (BGA) have been used as plating media. Other factors considered have been temperature of the water and sampling site. A total of 759 salmonella strains belonging to 36 different serotypes has been recovered in a two-year study. All five factors considered in the study have shown a significant effect on the recovery of salmonellas. The combination of direct enrichment in NR10, followed by BSA or HE as plating media was most effective for the isolation of Salmonella . The influence of water temperature and characteristics of the sampling sites have also been discussed.  相似文献

A fluorescent antibody-microcolony technique was developed for the rapid detection of salmonellas in pure cultures. Examination of microcolonies made the detection of salmonellas by epifluorescence microscopy easier and more reliable than using fluorescent antibody and single cells. After a study of the most effective selective enrichment media for increasing the number of salmonellas, the technique was examined with various samples of raw meats. It was able to detect salmonellas in 24 h and appeared to be as sensitive as conventional cultural techniques. Of the 101 samples studied, complete agreement was obtained with conventional methods for 94 but six apparently false positive results and one false negative result occurred.  相似文献

Desiccated bile (Oxoid L50) was substituted for fresh bile obtained from the abattoir in Muller-Kauffmann Tetrathionate Broth. Two versions of the enrichment medium were prepared, one with desiccated bile the other with fresh bile. The efficiency of these two media was compared using 25 ml quantities of sewage polluted natural water as inocula. Direct enrichment and preenrichment techniques were used. With direct enrichment the Muller-Kauffmann Tetrathionate Broth prepared from fresh bile was more efficient for salmonella isolation. With the pre-enrichment technique using preliminary culture of the water sample in buffered peptone water prior to enrichment, there was no significant difference between the efficiency of the two versions of tetrathionate. Comparison of direct enrichment with the pre-enrichment method for isolating salmonellas from sewage polluted water clearly demonstrated the advantages of pre-enrichment. This would certainly have a bearing on the quantitative estimation of salmonellas in polluted water and might increase the number of serotypes isolated from a sample divided into subsamples.  相似文献

Impedance detection times were compared with traditional plating methods for enumerating antibiotic-resistant strains of Salmonella stanley, Salm. thompson and Salm. infantis grown in laboratory medium and pork slurry. The correleation of log10 counts of salmonellas with detection times was highly significant ( r = -0·96 for broth and r = -0·94 for slurries. The confidence limits (± og10 1·0 for broth and ± log10 1·65 for slurry) indicated that detection times could reliably be used as a rapid means of enumerating salmonellas when large numbers of counts of known strains are required for growth studies. Use of antibiotic-resistant strains also permitted their selective detection by impedance from the natural spoilage flora of pork slurry when the same antibiotics were incorporated in the detection medium.  相似文献

The growth of 68 strains of Salmonella typhi , 697 other Salmonella strains and 213 strains of other Gram negative intestinal bacteria on 8 plating media was assessed semi-quantitatively. These media were found to be differentially inhibitory to different Salmonella serotypes. The combined use of two plating media, brilliant green MacConkey agar and deoxycholate citrate agar, allowed potentially the recovery of the maximum number of Salmonella strains. If only one medium was used, brilliant green MacConkey agar would appear to be the best plating medium for the isolation of non-typhoid salmonellas in general and S. choleraesuis in particular. Xylose lysine deoxycholate agar, on which a certain proportion of salmonellas failed to yield typical, recognizable colonies, was found not to be a good plating medium for their isolation.  相似文献

A new method was developed for the detection of injured and uninjured salmonellae in foods and feeds. The steps of pre-enrichment in a nonselective broth and selective enrichment in a selective medium were combined into a single procedure. This was achieved by the gradual release of selective agents from wax-coated gelatin capsules added at the time of inoculation of nonselective basal broths. Pre-enrichment in lactose broth was combined with selective enrichment in tetrathionate or selenite-cystine broth by using timed-release capsules containing iodine or selenite. Five different categories of foods and feeds, naturally contaminated with salmonellae, were examined to compare the efficiencies of the capsule methods with conventional procedures. Combination of the separate steps of pre-enrichment and selective enrichment into a single procedure was feasible and resulted in substantial savings of labor and materials.  相似文献

Ninety-five salmonellas and 40 non-salmonellas were screened in the Bactometer using lysine-iron-cystine-neutral red (LICNR) in order to evaluate the selectivity of the medium for the detection of salmonellas. Results for blackening of the medium in the well (indicating hydrogen sulphide, H2S, production) and step size are presented. Five out of 95 salmonellas tested failed to produce blackening in the well, four of these five are known to be non-H2S producers. Although salmonellas generally gave a larger step value than non-salmonellas, this criterion could not be used to distinguish reliably the two groups of organisms.  相似文献

A modified ornithine decarboxylase broth and a selenite cystine trimethlyamine oxide ribose medium were developed to improve selection and detection of Salmonellas. They were used with a third medium, lysine iron cystine neutral red broth (incubated conventionally) in a screen of 80 Salmonellas and 32 non-salmonellas which showed the combination of media to be specific and sensitive. Subsequent evaluation with 90 product samples (spiked and naturally contaminated) resulted in complete agreement by rapid and conventional methods. The detected wells in these experiments were also used to evaluate a latex slide agglutination test for Salmonellas. Carried out directly on the well contents, this was found to be a rapid, specific and sensitive test for confirmation of Salmonella presence. Further tests with 106 routine production samples gave complete agreement by both methods. Presumptive positives were obtained in <1.0–3·8% of the sample wells and subsequent modification to the Bactometer software has greatly reduced these figures in routine use. The method is recommended for Salmonella testing of foodstuffs with low background flora and high fat/low moisture content.  相似文献

A number of plating and enrichment media proposed for the isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from foodstuffs were examined for their ability to recover the type strains of Y. enterocolitica sensu stricto, Y. intermedia, Y. frederiksenii and Y. kristensenii. Nine selective plating media were evaluated for the quantitative recovery of the type strains in pure culture, and their inhibition of other organisms typical of both milk and enteric microfloras. Cefsulodin-irgasan-novobiocin (CIN) agar, incubated for 48 h at 25°C, allowed a high recovery of all the Yersinia spp. and was the most selective medium. The same four type strains were added to UHT milk that had been previously inoculated with bacteria to simulate either freshly drawn or cold stored milk microfloras. Twenty-six enrichment procedures (including cold enrichment, selective enrichment at higher temperatures, two-step procedures and a post-enrichment alkali treatment) were assessed for the efficiency of recovery of the Yersinia spp. Pre-enrichment in trypticase-soy broth (TSB) for 24 h at 22°C followed by selective enrichment in bile-oxalate-sorbose (BOS) medium for 5 d at 22°C and plating on CIN agar (48 h at 25°C) allowed the greatest increase in the numbers of Yersinia spp. and maximum inhibition of the competing microflora.  相似文献

A selenite medium for the automated detection of salmonellas by conductance measurements has been modified to eliminate the negative results given by some dulcitol-negative strains. The dulcitol is replaced with mannitol and pre-enrichment is best done in buffered peptone water containing mannitol and dimethylsulphoxide. It is suggested that both versions of the selenite medium be used initially.  相似文献

Identification of individuals shedding Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi in stool is imperative during clinical trial safety evaluations. Recovery of live attenuated S. Typhi vaccine strains can be difficult because the mutations necessary for safety in humans often compromise survival in stringent selective enrichment media. RapidChek? SELECT? Salmonella is a highly sensitive detection method for S. enterica species which utilizes a bacteriophage cocktail designed to reduce the growth of competitor microbes in mildly selective enrichment medium. Detection of Salmonella is enhanced by means of a Salmonella-specific antibody strip targeted to lipopolysaccharide. The RapidChek? SELECT? Salmonella method was compared to conventional enrichment and plating methods to determine the most sensitive method for detecting attenuated S. Typhi strains in human stool samples. Although traditional enrichment strategies were more sensitive to the presence of wild-type S. Typhi, RapidChek? SELECT? Salmonella was superior at detecting attenuated strains of S. Typhi. Strains containing a wide variety of attenuating mutations were detected with equal sensitivity as the wild type by RapidChek? SELECT? Salmonella. The presence of Vi capsule or mutations which affected O-antigen synthesis (Δpmi, ΔgalE) did not decrease the sensitivity of the RapidChek? SELECT? Salmonella assay.  相似文献

An accelerated, direct immunofluorescent-antibody procedure was developed for the detection of Salmonella in food products. This method includes pre-enrichment and selective enrichment but eliminates many of the washing and smear treatments present in existing methods. Commercially available fluorescein-conjugated somatic antiserum was used in comparing this method with conventional culture, biochemical, and serological procedures. The 894 samples tested represented 39 different products. The fluorescent-antibody procedure detected Salmonella in 216 test samples as compared to 205 positives recovered by using the standard culture procedures. In no instance did the fluorescent-antibody procedure fail to detect a Salmonella positive which had been detected by the standard procedure. With a three-tube, most-probable-number procedure, the fluorescent-antibody method was able to detect Salmonella at a level of 0.036 organism per g. In addition to being a more rapid method for the detection of Salmonella, it has proven to be comparable to conventional culture procedures.  相似文献

A Salmonella Assay using the Vitek Immunodiagnostic Assay System (VIDAS) was compared with a conventional cultural method (CCM) for the detection of salmonellas in 141 samples of artificially and naturally contaminated foods. There was an overall agreement of 92.9% between the methods. The productivity of the VIDAS Salmonella Assay (VSA) was not improved using an alternative enrichment protocol for the detection of Salmonella in 12 raw meat samples.
The sensitivity and specificity of the VSA was assessed using pure cultures of salmonellas and non-salmonellas. The detection limit was 1.8 times 106 salmonellas ml-1 in M-broth and some Citrobacter freundii strains gave false-positive results.
Using an immunomagnetic separation (IMS) technique and an abbreviated cultural enrichment, the VSA results could be obtained a day earlier than the standard VSA method.  相似文献
