The detection of Enterobacteriaceae is of great concern in the microbial examination of non-sterile products and in monitoring the sanitary quality of foods. Enterobacteriaceae are easily injured during processing procedures, exposure to low temperatures, sub-marginal heat, drying, radiation, and preservatives or sanitizers. Therefore, the ability to recover these microorganisms depends upon proper resuscitation of sub-lethally damaged cells.
EE Broth Mossel, USP contains peptones as a source of nitrogen, vitamins and amino acids. Dextrose provides a carbon source. Phosphates act as buffering agents, while brilliant green and oxbile (oxgall) are added as selective agents.
