Thermo Scientific™ Selenite Cystine Broth
Description
Enrich for Salmonella species from feces or food samples with Thermo Scientitfic™ Selenite Cystine Broth. The formulation corresponds to that recommended by the AOAC1 for detection of Salmonella in foodstuffs, in particular, egg products. It is included among the standard methods media of the American Public Health Association2, 3. It also complies with the requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia4.
Selenite Cystine Broth is modified from the formula of Leifson5 with added cystine6. This addition has given favorable results in many studies7.
The effect of the cystine may be due to its reducing abilities, which will lower the toxicity of selenite to microorganisms, and/or the extra organic sulfur provided may have a sparing effect on the critical sulfur components of the bacteria, again reducing the selective effect of the selenite.
