MULLER KAUFFMAN TETRATHIONATE NOVOBIOCIN BROTH BASE (as per ISO)

Muller-Kauffman tetrathionate novobiocin broth is used for enrichment and isolation of Salmonellae from food and animal feeds. The medium was first described by Muller in (1923) for inhibition of coliform bacteria at the same time as permitting the development of typhoid and paratyphoid bacilli. Kauffman modified the medium?s formulation include ox bile and brilliant green as selective agents to suppress bacteria such as Proteus species. The selectivity of this medium is conferred by tetrathionate.
