Abstract

The effect of a siderophoric compound, ferrioxamine E, in the pre-enrichment broth on determining of Salmonella infantis in environmental samples was tested with combination of various pre-enrichment times and enrichment temperatures of 37 and 43 degrees C. Ferrioxamine E slightly improved the determination efficiency of this bacterium but the pre-enrichment time could not be reduced below 17 hours. The enrichment temperature of 43 degrees C was better than of 37 degrees C. The mixing ratios of 1:100 or 1:1000 for samples and pre-enrichment broth were more successful than the ratio of 1:10 as recommended by ISO.
