RESUMO
Hydrogen sulfide-producing strains of salmonellae, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter freundii, and Proteus mirabilis were isolated from fresh pork sausage. All the strains produced black-centered colonies on Hektoen enteric agar (HE). On xylose lysine deoxycholate agar (XLD), C. freundii produced yellow colonies, and the strains of the other three genera formed black-centered colonies. The selectivity of HE and XLD for salmonellae was improved by the addition of novobiocin to both media. With increasing concentrations of novobiocin, the degree of growth inhibition for the four genera was less on HE than on XLD. Novobiocin concentrations of 80 μg/ml in HE and 5 μg/ml in XLD did not affect the growth or colonial morphology of salmonellae. When 80 μg of novobiocin per ml was incorporated into HE, P. mirabilis strains were not recovered, 40% of C. freundii strains failed to form black-centered colonies, and growth of E. coli strains was not affected but colonies were altered without eliminating the black centers. When novobiocin at 5 μg/ml was incorporated into XLD, colonies of P. mirabilis strains were not recovered, C. freundii formed yellow colonies, and the colonies of the H2S-producing E. coli strains were unaffected.
