Product Summary and Explanation
EE Broth, Mossel was developed by Mossel, Visser, and Cornelissen to facilitate the growth of Enterobacteriaceae.4 This medium contains dextrose to enhance the growth of E. coli and Salmonella spp., particularly in food samples. Nuisance organisms are suppressed by the addition of Ox Bile and Brilliant Green. EE Broth, Mossel is used as an enrichment broth, providing a rich environment for the recovery of damaged or injured cells. Enterobacteriaceae organisms can be injured in food-processing procedures, including exposure to low temperature, sub-marginal heat, drying, radiation, preservatives, or sanitizers.5 The enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae is an important measure of the sanitary condition of food. Although injured cells may not form colonies on selective media, they can cause infection if ingested.6 EE Broth, Mossel complies with the specifications of the Eiprodukte-Verodnung (German Egg Product Regulations)7 and conforms to Harmonized United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EU), and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP).1,2,3
