Saline Lactose Broth

Saline Lactose Broth is recommended for the detection of coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus.

Saline Lactose Broth is an enrichment medium for coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus in powder milk. Powder milk can contain coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus. It is important to keep the number of these bacteria below levels at which enterotoxin production creates a health hazard. No more than just 1 µg of toxin is enough to cause illness.
