RESUMO
Cultures of 68 samples of fresh pork sausage purchased locally were incubated at 37 and 43 C, with and without Tergitol No. 7 (sodium heptadecyl sulfate) added to the tetrathionate-Brilliant Green enrichment broth. The results indicated an advantage in incubating the tetrathionate broth at 43 C rather than 37 C in attempting to isolate salmonellae from pork sausage. Without Tergitol, more samples were positive at 43 C than at 37 C, but with Tergitol there was no difference. The higher temperature suppressed the competing gram-negative bacteria and permitted Salmonella to grow in relatively pure culture, thus providing an advantage for isolating and identifying the organisms. Tergitol dispersed and emulsified the fat which improved the isolation of Salmonella when the cultures were incubated at 37 C but not at 43 C. Brilliant Green-sulfadiazine agar was superior to bismuth sulfite agar for isolating salmonellae from tetrathionate broth cultures of fresh pork sausage.
