Abstract
Three enrichment broths and six plating media were compared
for efficiency of detection of Salmonella in the presence of high
numbers of Conforms (105/ml) and proteus (103/m1) from artificially
inoculated fish samples. Recovery experiments with Salmonellaanatum
S. typhimurium and S. enteritidis indicated that the two enrichment
broths viz. Dulcitol Selinite (DSE) and Selinite Cystine (SC) were
equally efficient. Further, the viability of Salmonella, inoculated into
fish muscle and kept at 40 C for 48 hours, was found to be not
affected by the low temperature storage. Selective plating media like
Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate agar (XLD), Brilliant Green Sulphadiazine
agar (BGS) and Brilliant Green agar (BG) were found to be superior
in performance to Salmonella-Shigella agar: (SS) and Bismuth Sul
phite agar (BiS).
