Abstract:

Objective To analyze and evaluate the technical key points for routine detection of Salmonella,using multi-dimensional composite process based on standard method. Method Process material included Salmonella selective agars and selective enrichment broth. Recovery ratios of 4 selective enrichment broths were detected by reference isolates,and the typical colony characteristics of 5 selective agars belonging to 3 kinds were verified. Suspected colony distinguishment,screening efficiency and sensitivity were compared using different selective agars and selective enrichment broth by actual samples. Results The recovery efficiency of Rappaport Vassiliadis broth(RV),tetrathionate broth(TTB) and selenite brilliant green broth(SBG) was one dilution different from that of selenite cystine broth(SC). The first 3 selective enrichment broths were effective for non-typhoidal Salmonella,and SC was effective for Salmonella typhi and Salmonellaparatyphoid. Screening method of double-sugar tubes accorded with the biochemical characteristics of confirmed reference isolates. Except CHORMagar Salmonella(CAS),the others showed atypical colony characteristics,including H2S negative isolates and small colonies. The 25 of 84 meat samples were positive,and 42 Salmonella isolates were isolated. The sensitivities of CAS and xylose lysine deoxycholate agar(XLD) combined with RV,TTB,SBG,SC were 88%,84%,72% and 0%,respectively. The sensitivities of RV with TTB,RV with SBG,TTB with SBG were 100%,92% and 88%,respectively. The sensitivities of RV,TTB,and SBG combined with CAS or XLD were 48.00% and 68.00%,respecitvely. The method of screening Salmonella like colonies had high specificity and positive predictive value by double-sugar tubes. Totally,42 Salmonella isolates were confirmed by biochemistry identifier,mass spectrometry and serotyping. Conclusions The effective combined processes could improve the sensitivities of Salmonella detection based on verification by double selective agar and double selective enrichment broths. The technical key points include the gradient selective enrichment,distinguish of the colonies and screening of biochemistry identifier by routine detection of Salmonella.
