Method Reference:
GB 4789.40-2016
Method Description:
Samples are homogenized and incubated at 36±1°C for 18±2Hrs. Each sample is then subsampled into an enrichment broth and incubated at 44±0.5°C for 24±2Hrs. Each incubated broth sample is then streaked onto selective agar plates and incubated at 36±1°C for 24±2hrs. Suspected positives are then streaked onto another selective media plate and incubated for 36±1°C for 24hrs. A Kit is then use for identifying the growth and a MPN table is used for reporting numbers.
