acumedia* Selenite Broth

• Intended Use: Selenite Broth is used for the selective enrichment of Salmonella spp.
• Product Summary and Explanation: Selenite Broth is used as a selective enrichment for the cultivation of Salmonella spp. that may
be present in small numbers and competing with intestinal flora. Salmonella organisms are also injured in food-processing
procedures, including exposure to low temperatures, sub-marginal heat, drying, radiation, preservatives or sanitizers. Although
injured cells may not form colonies on selective media, they cause infection if ingested. Salmonella spp. cause many types of
infections, from mild self-limiting gastroenteritis to life-threatening typhoid fever.

Selenite Broth conforms with the American Public Health Association (APHA), and is specified for clinical applications. Many modifications of Selenite Broth exist, including Selenite Cystine Broth, from the original formula described as Selenite F Broth by Leifson.
