This is a completely revised edition, including new material, from
'Culture Media for Food Microbiology' by J.E.L. Corry et al.,
published in Progress in Industrial Microbiology, Volume 34, Second
Impression 1999.
Written by the Working Party on Culture Media, of the International
Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene, this is a handy
reference for microbiologists wanting to know which media to use
for the detection of various groups of microbes in food, and how to
check their performance.
The first part comprises reviews, written by international experts,
of the media designed to isolate the major groups of microbes
important in food spoilage, food fermentations or food-borne
disease. The history and rationale of the selective agents, and the
indicator systems are considered, as well as the relative merits of
the various media. The second part contains monographs on
approximately 90 of the most useful media.
The first edition of this book has been frequently quoted in
standard methods, especially those published by the International
Standards Organisation (ISO) and the European Standards
Organisation (CEN), as well as in the manuals of companies
manufacturing microbiological media. In this second edition, almost
all of the reviews have been completely rewritten, and the
remainder revised. Approximately twelve monographs have been added
and a few deleted. This book will be useful to anyone working in
laboratories examining food - industrial, contract, medical,
academic or public analyst, as well as other microbiologists,
working in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and clinical (medical and
veterinary) areas - particularly with respect to quality assurance
of media and methods in relation to laboratory accreditation.
