acumedia* Selenite Cystine Broth

• Intended Use: Selenite Cystine Broth is used for the selective enrichment of Salmonella species.
• Product Summary and Explanation: The growth and isolation of Salmonella in food and other samples can be suppressed from
food-processing procedures including exposure to low and or high temperatures, drying, radiation, preservatives, and sanitizers.
Along with the harsh processing procedures, Salmonella organisms may be competing with other bacteria in the same sample.
Primary and secondary (selective) enrichment media are used to nurture any injured or stressed cells, along with inhibiting
nuisance organisms. Salmonella spp. cause many types of infections, from mild self-limiting gastroenteritis to life-threatening
typhid fever.

Selenite Cystine Broth is based upon the formula of Selenite Broth described by Leifson, with the addition of cystine. The FDA, Bacteriological Analytical Manual incorporate Selenite Cystine Broth as a pre-enrichment medium for detecting Salmonella in food materials. Selenite Cystine Broth is recommended by AOAC, USP, and APHA as a selective enrichment medium for Salmonella spp., while inhibiting the growth of other Gram-negative bacilli.
