Development of Shortened Enrichment Methods for Detection of Salmonella Typhimurium Spiked in Milk.

ABSTRACT: Rapid and accurate testing of pathogenic Salmonella enterica in dairy products could reduce the risk of exposure to the bacterial pathogens for consumers. This study aimed to reduce the assessment time needed for enteric bacteria recovery and quantification in food using the natural growth properties of Salmonella enterica Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) in cow's milk and efficiently using rapid PCR methods. Over 5 h of 37 °C enrichment, culture and PCR methods measured increases in the non-heat-treated S. Typhimurium concentration at similar rates, with an average increase of 2.7 log10 CFU/mL between the start of enrichment and 5 h. In contrast, no bacteria were recovered by culture after S. Typhimurium in milk received heat treatment, and the number of gen
