Kauffman Mueller’s Tetrathionate Broth Base 500G

Kauffman Mueller’s Tetrathionate Broth Base is recommended as selective enrichment medium for isolation of Shigella species from food samples. It is recommended by BIS committee under the specifications IS:5887(Part I)-1999. Muller recommended Tetrathionate Broth as a selective medium for the recovery of Salmonella and demonstrated the effectiveness of Tetrathionate Broth for enriching typhoid and paratyphoid bacilli while inhibiting coliform organisms. Kauffmann modified this formula to include bile for its selective properties, which supresses coliform bacteria and inhibits Gram-positive organisms. The British Standard Specification specifies Brilliant Green Tetrathionate Broth for isolating Salmonella from meat and meat products and from poultry and poultry products. It also conforms with ISO Standards.
