Isolation of motile aeromonads from foods of animal origin.

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to select an available medium for Aeromonads isolation as well as to point out the Aeromonads presence in different foodstuffs of animal origin. Out of 15 tested media for Aeromonas isolation, two media, were selected: DFS as control medium and AGOS medium, both giving superposable results. 404 samples of foodstuffs of animal origin were examined; Aeromonads testing was performed qualitatively and quantitatively. 142 samples with a positivity percent of 51.40% were qualitatively tested. 262 samples with a positivity percent of 48.85% were quantitatively tested.
