Abbreviation: CFU, colony forming units; BPW buffered peptone water; CE, capture efficiency.
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.
CE (%) = (a − b)/a × 100%, capture efficiency of IMBs.
