USDA/FSIS updates Microbiology Laboratory Guidebook (MLG) with improved workflow for Campylobacter enrichment using Hunt Broth
|
|
|
|
|
Though Campylobacter is the most common cause of foodborne illness, recovery of this pathogen from raw chicken is challenging. A recent study conducted by the UK Health Security Agency suggests that even under controlled conditions, laboratories performing Campylobacter testing are likely to record inconsistent performance results.
|
|
|
In this study, the UKHSA was able to clearly demonstrate that recovery of this fastidious organism can be improved with specialized culture media.
Striving to reduce foodborne illness cases from Campylobacter, The Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) has updated its guidance in the Modern Laboratory Handbook (MLG) with an improved selective enrichment: Hunt Broth. In the latest MLG 41 revision, Hunt Broth replaced Double-Strength Blood-free Bolton Broth as the preferred enrichment broth for the recovery of Campylobacter from poultry samples. The use of Hunt Broth was determined to significantly reduce the time to result by 24 hours.
