Differentiation and ID Media for Salmonella

Salmonella, with 2,300+ serotypes, causes half of food-borne illnesses, often from dairy, poultry, and eggs.

沙门氏菌分离和鉴定培养基

沙门氏菌污染是全球食源性疾病的第二大成因。控制沙门氏菌的暴发是食品监管机构、餐馆和整个食品工业的一项重要任务。沙门氏菌家族包括2300多种血清型的细菌，但其中有两种类型，即肠炎沙门氏菌和鼠伤寒沙门氏杆菌，约占所有人类感染的一半。大多数沙门氏菌的暴发可以追溯到乳制品、家禽和肉制品，但沙门氏菌几乎可以在任何食物上生长。鸡、鸡蛋及其衍生产品的风险特别高。
