Comparison of selective media for the isolation of salmonellae

PMCID: PMC473123  PMID: 5844201

Abstract

A study of the selective action of four fluid media used for the isolation of salmonellae is described. When incubated in the presence of three competing organisms, test strains were recovered most frequently from Rappaport medium but mannitol selenite broth proved superior for the isolation of S. typhi.
