PRE ENRICHMENT BROTH BASE

Yersinia enterocolitica, a small rod-shaped, gram-negative bacterium, is often isolated from clinical specimens such as wounds, faeces, sputum and mesenteric lymph nodes. It is a foodborne pathogen responsible for gastroenteritis. It is primarily a zoonotic and does not form normal human flora. Y. enterocolitica have been isolated from meats (pork, beef, lamb, etc.), oysters, fish, and raw milk. Pre-Enrichment Broth is formulated as recommended by APHA for the isolation and enrichment of Y. enterocolitica from foods.
