The two methods described are for the rapid detection and confirmation of E.coli using a direct plate count.
RAPID CONFIRMATION PLATE METHOD and
Resuscitation Method (Selective Pre-enrichment):
The resuscitation method permits the repair of cells sublethally damaged by chemicals, freezing, long term cold storage, drying and heat. It also allows the dispersion of constituents other than the bacterial load.
As natural water often contains low nutrient levels, many bacteria grow best on media with low nutrient levels.
A semi-solid medium used for the rapid detection of motile Salmonella species in foods.
Amyl Freeze Dried Rabbit Plasma, SP 466, is suitable for use in the Coagulase Test for the differentiation of Staphylococcus aureus in humans from other strains of staphylococci.
