BM0360 Selenite F Broth is a medium for the selective enrichment of Salmonella spp. from both clinical and food samples. Following overnight incubation subculture(s) are usually made on to one or more of the many selective enteric solid media. Selenite F Broth is also recommended by the American Public Health Association (APHA) for the examination of food.
Subcultures should be made from the top 1/3 of the broth after not more than 24 hours incubation as after this time there is a loss of selectivity.
