Rappaport Vassiliadis Soy Peptone 500g

Selectively enrich Salmonella spp. from food and environmental specimens with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Rappaport-Vassiliadis Soya Peptone Broth (Dehydrated). Rappaport- Vassiliadis Soya Peptone Broth selects for Salmonella species by exploiting their characteristics when compared with other Enterobacteriaceae, such as the ability to survive at relatively high osmotic pressure, multiply at relatively low pH values, be relatively more resistant to malachite green, and have relatively less demanding nutritional requirements.
