Transcript Salmonella

Salmonella
• Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped, Gram-negative, non-
spore forming, predominantly motile enterobacteria with
diameters around 0.7 to 1.5 µm, lengths from 2 to 5 µm.
• Salmonella are closely related to the Escherichia genus
and are found worldwide in warm- and cold-blooded
animals, in humans, and in nonliving habitats. They cause
illnesses in humans and many animals, such as typhoid
fever, paratyphoid fever, and the foodborne illness
salmonellosis.
• Salmonella is named after Daniel E. Salmon, an American
veterinary, not the salmon fish.
 A distinction is made between enteritis salmonella an
typhoid/paratyphoid, whereby the latter because of a
special virulence factor and a capsule protein (virulence
antigen) can cause serious illness, such as Salmonella
enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Typhi, or Salmonella
typhi).
 Enteritis Salmonella (e.g., Salmonella enterica subsp.
enterica Serovar Enteritidis, for short Salmonella
enteritidis or Salmonella typhimurium) cause diarrhoea.
 The genus has 2 species: Salmonella enterica and
Salmonella bongori. S. enterica has seven subspecies
consistently delineated by sequence variation. The
majority of disease causing serovars are from subspecies I
which includes the serovars Typhimurium and Typhi.
• 培養 (enrichment)
– General enrichment
– Selective enrichment
• 劃線分離 (streaking isolation)
– Streak on selective agar to obtain well-isolated single
colonies
• 確定 (confirmation)
– Colonies showing typical characteristics on selective agar
are confirmed with biochemical, serological, or molecular
biological methods.

Aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile blending container.
Add 225 ml sterile lactose broth and blend 2 min.
Aseptically transfer homogenized mixture to sterile widemouth, screw-cap jar (500 ml).
Two jars for whole class. (四血清瓶/一班)
Two jars are inoculated with S. Typhimurium (one mL with
10-6 of overnight culture) (group 4 to 11)
Two jars are inoculated with S. Typhimurium just meat
sample (one mL with 10-7 of overnight culture) (group 1 to 4)
Loosen jar caps 1/4 turn and incubate sample mixtures 24 -48
h at 35°C.
Selective enrichment
1. Transfer 1 ml mixture to 10 ml selenite cystine (SC)
broth
2. Transfer 1 ml mixture to 10 ml tetrathionate Broth Base
(TT) broth . Vortex.
3. Each group should have four tubes. Two SC and two TT.
4. Loosen jar caps 1/4 turn and incubate SC and TT broths
24 ± 2 h at 35°C.
 Mix (vortex, if tube) and streak incubated TT and SC
broth on bismuth sulfite (BS) agar, xylose lysine
desoxycholate (XLD) agar, and Hektoen enteric (HE)
agar.
 Each group should have 4 plates (two XLD and HE). Two
for SC and two for TT broth.
 Incubate plates 24 ± 2 h at 35°C.
劃線分離 streaking isolation
• Hektoen enteric (HE) agar. Blue-green to blue colonies
with or without black centers. Many cultures of
Salmonella may produce colonies with large, glossy black
centers or may appear as almost completely black colonies.
• Xylose lysine desoxycholate (XLD) agar. Pink colonies
with or without black centers. Many cultures of
Salmonella may produce colonies with large, glossy black
centers or may appear as almost completely black colonies.
確定 (confirmation)
Pick up colonies with typical characteristics and streak and
stab TSI and LIA slants.
2. Four tubes for each group; two for XLD and two for HE
plates. We will do TSI first, then LIA.
3. Incubate at 35°C for 24 ± 2 h. Cap tubes loosely to maintain
aerobic conditions while incubating slants to prevent
excessive H2S production.
4. Salmonella in culture typically produces alkaline (red) slant
and acid (yellow) butt, with or without production of H2S
(blackening of agar) in TSI. In LIA, Salmonella typically
produces alkaline (purple) reaction in butt of tube.

confirmation
1. Pick up TSI and LIA slants with typical characteristics
and streak onto TSA plates.
2. Two plates for each group. One for TSI and one for LIA.
3. Incubate at 35°C for 24 ± 2 h.

Xylose ........................................................................ 3.75 g
L-Lysine ...................................................................... 5.0 g
Lactose ...................................................................... 7.5 g
Saccharose ................................................................. 7.5 g
Sodium Chloride ........................................................ 5.0 g

Phenol Red ................................................................ 0.08 g
Sodium Desoxycholate ............................................... 2.5 g
Sodium Thiosulfate .................................................... 6.8 g
Ferric Ammonium Citrate ........................................... 0.8 g
Agar ......................................................................... 15.0 g
• Lysine is included to enable the Salmonella group to be
differentiated from the nonpathogens since, without lysine,
salmonellae rapidly would ferment the xylose and be
indistinguishable from nonpathogenic species.
• After the salmonellae exhaust the supply of xylose, the
lysine is attacked via the enzyme, lysine decarboxylase,
with reversion to an alkaline pH which mimics the
Shigella reaction.
• To add to the differentiating ability of the formulation, an
H2S indicator system, consisting of sodium thiosulfate and
ferric ammonium citrate, is included for the visualization
of H2S produced, resulting in the formation of colonies
with black centers. The nonpathogenic H2S producers do
not have decarboxylate lysine; therefore, the acid reaction
produced by them prevents the blackening of the colonies.
• XLD Agar is both a selective and differential medium. It
utilizes sodium desoxycholate as the selective agent and,
therefore, it is inhibitory to gram-positive microorganisms.
