Nutrient Broth (7146)

Intended Use:
Nutrient Broth is specifically formulated for the cultivation of a diverse range of microorganisms, making it an essential medium in microbiological testing and research.

Product Summary and Explanation

Originating in the early 1900s, Nutrient Broth has its foundations in the standard culture medium suggested by the American Public Health Association (APHA). It is based on the same formulation as Nutrient Agar, with the key distinction being the absence of Agar. This makes Nutrient Broth a vital pre-enrichment medium, especially when testing various foods and dairy products for Salmonella spp.

In situations where salmonellae may be present in dried or processed foods, they can be sublethally injured and exist in low numbers. The presence of competing microorganisms and various components within food samples can impede the growth and recovery of Salmonella spp. Nutrient Broth provides a favorable environment for Salmonella, supporting cell damage repair, diluting toxic substances, and securing a nutritional advantage over other bacterial species.

Nutrient Broth is widely acknowledged and incorporated in many standard methods and procedures for testing food, dairy products, and other materials, ensuring reliable results in microbiological assessments.
