M-TRYPTONE GLUCOSE EXTRACT BROTH

Description

M-Tryptone Glucose Extract Broth is used as non-selective general purpose media recommended by APHA for determination of bacterial counts in dairy products and water, foods and other specimens respectively. The dairy industry has relied for safety on control of the manufacturing process and on the use of tests such as the standard plate count and coliform count as indicators of post process contamination. Testing of dairy products or dairy plant environment samples for pathogens has not been routinely performed. However, there is a need for at least surveillance testing of product and environmental samples as well as for re-evaluation of processing and environmental control procedures. Evaluation of this may require that product and environmental samples be analyzed for pathogens.
