Description
• Intended Use: Universal Pre-Enrichment Broth is used for the recovery of Salmonella spp. and Listeria spp.
• Product Summary and Explanation: Traditional methods for recovering Salmonella spp. and Listeria spp. from food products
require separate pre-enrichment media for each microorganism. Some broth media recommended for pre-enrichment contain
antibiotic inhibitors or have insufficient buffering capacity which hinder recovery of sublethally injured cells.
Bailey and Cox formulated Universal Pre-Enrichment Broth to permit simultaneous resuscitation of sublethally injured Salmonella
and Listeria. The broth medium provides sufficient buffering capacity to prevent rapid decreases in pH, and allows for repair of
injured cells that might be sensitive to low pH values or inhibitory substances.
Universal Pre-Enrichment Broth is used as the pre-enrichment for Salmonella testing of orange & apple juice, cider, cantaloupes,
tomatoes, and mamey pulp according to FDA/BAM Methods.
