title: Some modification to the media for rapid automated detection of salmonellas by conductance measurement.
abstract: A selenite medium for the automated detection of salmonellas by conductance measurements has been modified to eliminate the negative results given by some dulcitol-negative strains. The dulcitol is replaced with mannitol and pre-enrichment is best done in buffered peptone water containing mannitol and dimethylsulphoxide. It is suggested that both versions of the selenite medium be used initially.
