Recovery of 61 Salmonella serotypes from artificially contaminated turkey skin.
Selenite brilliant-green sulfa enrichment broth containing Tween 80 was streaked to brilliant-green sulfa plates for use in comparing recoverability of 61 different salmonella serotypes from turkey tails artifically contaminated with very low levels of each serotype. Recoverability was 100% with 43 of the serotypes, 80% with eight, 60% with four, and 40% or less with six.
