Thermo Scientific™ Rappaport-Vassiliadis Soya Peptone Broth (Bottled)
Description
Selectively enrich Salmonella spp. from food and environmental samples with this medium.
Selectively enrich Salmonella spp. from food and environmental specimens with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Rappaport-Vassiliadis Soya Peptone Broth ready prepared bottled medium. Rappaport- Vassiliadis Soya Peptone Broth selects for Salmonella species by exploiting their characteristics when compared with other Enterobacteriaceae, such as the ability to survive at relatively high osmotic pressure, multiply at relatively low pH values, be relatively more resistant to malachite green, and have relatively less demanding nutritional requirements1.
Remove the need for autoclaving and with convenient, pre-filled and ready-prepared bottles of Rappaport-Vassiliadis Enrichment Broth.
- Selective: malachite green, low pH and high magnesium chloride concentration inhibit many Gram-positive bacteria, while selectively enriching for salmonellae.
- Superior performance: superior performance to Selenite Enrichment Broth and Tetrathionate Broth for enrichment of salmonellae with the exception of Salmonella typhi1.
- Convenient: the pre-filled bottles are ready for immediate use.
- Simple: easy to use with minimum training.
- Long shelf life: up to 12 months.
RVS Broth is based on the revised formulation described by van Schothorst et al.3, and is recommended as the selective enrichment medium for the isolation of salmonellae from food and environmental specimens. It can also be used to isolate salmonellae from human feces without the need for pre-enrichment. It is a modification of the Rappaport Vassiliadis (RV) Enrichment Broth described earlier by van Schothorst and Renauld4. The modifications to their earlier formula are:
1. The addition of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate to buffer the medium so that the pH is maintained during storage of the prepared broth.
2. Clarifying the optimum concentration of magnesium chloride 6H2O.
