Culture Media for Food Microbiology
There followed a period of consolidation while food microbiologists from all parts of the world were requested to monitor their media using the test strains and methods prescribed. In 1992 a four day meeting was held in Heidelberg, funded by Becton Dickinson, at which all the monographs were reviewed, some were added and some deleted. The results of medium monitoring using standard strains as well as 'in house' strains of test organisms were presented and analysed by approximately 30 participants, and as a result, the numbers of test organisms recommended for monitoring each medium were reduced and the total number of strains recommended for use were rationalised. The new monographs as well as a series of reviews of media for different groups of food micro-organisms were published in the International Journal of Food Microbiology. All current monographs,
together with these reviews are collected in this new volume.
We hope that microbiologists specialising in food and related areas, particularly those who are members of or who aspire to join a laboratory accreditation scheme, will find this book useful.
We have tried to include all the media most commonly used in food microbiology. Inclusion of a medium, however, implies no endorsement of its superiority over other media, and likewise, there will be good media that are absent from our book. Topics that still need to be addressed include the standardisation of undefined ingredients such as blood, plasma, bile and brilliant green, procedures for resuscitation of sublethally-damaged organisms and the effect of the type of food on the optimal method of examination.
