Abstract:
Growth of 18 Salmonella strains belonging to 11 serotypes and the bacterial flora of deep-frozen broiler carcasses was examined in five commercial Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) media. Growth was measured by an automated turbidometer (Bioscreen). Significant differences in performance between the media investigated were observed. The unequal performances were ascribed to differences in the concentration of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and the type of peptone used.
