T6 - Technical Session 6 – Laboratory and Detection Methods
Dr. Preetha Biswas is convening the technical session on laboratory and detection methods.
Dual-Chromogenic Membrane Filtration Ampoule Medium for Enumeration of E. coli and Coliforms
A novel ready-to-use m-E. coli/Coliform (m-ECC) broth ampoule was developed for simultaneous detection and enumeration of total coliforms and E. coli in water samples through membrane filtration. m-ECC contains dual chromogenic substrates, which relies on the presence of β-glucuronidase in E. coli that produces dark blue colonies and β-galactosidase in coliform bacteria that produces pink to purplish pink colonies.
P3-64 - Evaluation of the Performance of Different Listeria Enrichment Broths Using Bioscreen Automated System
Listeria monocytogens is an important foodborne pathogen. The recovery of low numbers of Listeria monocytogenes from foods and environmental samples requires the use of pre-enrichment/enrichment step. A variety of enrichment media and methods have been developed for the detection of Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes. The Bioscreen system can automatically perform microbiological growth curve tests and, thus, is a useful tool to evaluate the growth media performance.
