BACTERIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS PROCESS, AND BACTERIA DETECTION MEDIUM OF THE SALMONELLA TYPE.

摘要

The invention relates to a method of bacteriological analysis for the selective detection of Salmonella and a medium for its implementation. The method is based on the specific capacity of Salmonella to ferment glucuronic acid or one of its salts, and not to produce beta -galactosidase. The medium comprises a nutrient which is metabolized by the bacteria, a chromogenic or fluorigenic compound capable of being hydrolyzed by the enzyme beta -galactosidase, glucuronic acid or one of its salts and a pH indicator.
