Table 2.

Capture efficiency analysis of IMBs in food samples.

Samples aa (CFU/mL) ba (CFU/mL) CE (%)b
Pork 1.73 × 104 7900 54.34
Milk 1.21 × 104 5800 52.07

Abbreviation: CFU, colony forming units; BPW buffered peptone water; CE, capture efficiency.

a

a: total numbers of Salmonella in 1 mL food samples after 5 h enrichment in BPW. b: total numbers of Salmonella in 1 mL culture medium after 30 min capture at 37 °C.

b

CE (%) = (a − b)/a × 100%, capture efficiency of IMBs.
