A comparison of tetrathionate broth and Rappaport's medium as enrichment media for Salmonella.
Tetrathionate broth (Müller-Kauffmann) and Rappaport's medium were compared in isolating Salmonella from meat- and bone-meal, receiving waters, sewage, and sludge. The results (Table I) show no difference in isolations from meat- and bone-meal, receiving waters, or sewage, while in studying sludge isolations were significantly less frequent from Rappaport's medium than from tetrathionate broth. The Salmonella positive plates, however, were easier to read when inoculated from Rappaport's medium than from tetrathionate broth.
