Abstract:
The Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) medium prepared under laboratory conditions from its different components was found to be equally suitable as the commercial RV Oxoid medium for routine detection of Salmonella in food products. The best detection (30 of 113 examined samples) was obtained using 0.1 ml of culture and 10 ml of medium. In case of 1 ml of culture and 10 ml of medium Salmonella was isolated only from 3 samples. Only 7 positive samples were obtained using MK medium. Necessity of preliminary toxicity verification for malachite green oxalate colour used in RV medium, to standard Salmonella strains, prior to routine food products tests, was found.
