SELECTION OF A MEDIUM FOR THE ISOLATION AND ENUMERATION OF ENTEROCOCCI IN DAIRY PRODUCTS1

Abstract
Ten media, used for detection and isolation of streptococci of sanitary significance in water, dairy and other food products were compared. One medium was eliminated on the basis of low recovery, 6 because they permitted growth of non-enterococcus cultures. Two were eliminated because they allowed 1 Streptococcus bovis culture to grow.
