EE Broth (Mossel) | Enterobacteriaceae Enrichment | Buffered BGB Glucose Broth | AS‑1216
EE Broth (Mossel)
Enterobacteriaceae Enrichment • Buffered Brilliant Green Bile Glucose Broth
Selective enrichment broth formulated for the recovery and enrichment of Enterobacteriaceae from food, dairy, environmental, and other test samples. EE Broth (Mossel) combines glucose, bile salts, brilliant green, and phosphate buffering to support target organism growth while suppressing much of the accompanying Gram-positive and non-target flora.
Enterobacteriaceae Workflow Medium
🔬 Product Overview
EE Broth (Mossel), also known as Enterobacteriaceae Enrichment Broth or Buffered Brilliant Green Bile Glucose Broth, is a selective enrichment medium widely used for the detection and recovery of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae from food and related samples.
The formulation supplies fermentable glucose and supportive nutrients, while bile salts and brilliant green inhibit many competing microorganisms. The phosphate buffering system helps stabilize medium performance during incubation, making it suitable for routine enrichment prior to subculture onto differential and selective plating media.
⚗️ Principle of the Medium
↓
Selective enrichment in EE Broth (Mossel)
↓
Recovery of Enterobacteriaceae with suppression of much competing flora
↓
Subculture to VRBG, MacConkey, EMB, or other selective/differential agar
This broth is intended as an enrichment step rather than a final confirmatory medium. After incubation, enriched cultures are typically plated onto selective agars for isolation, colony observation, and subsequent biochemical or confirmatory testing.
🧬 Key Applications
🍽️ Food Microbiology
Used for enrichment of Enterobacteriaceae from foods, ingredients, dairy products, powders, processed items, and hygiene-related samples.
🏭 QA & Environmental Monitoring
Suitable for process hygiene programs, raw material screening, and environmental monitoring workflows where Enterobacteriaceae are used as indicator organisms.
🧪 Routine Enrichment Step
Functions as an intermediate enrichment stage before plating onto VRBG Agar, MacConkey Agar, EMB Agar, or other confirmatory media.
🔍 Indicator Organism Recovery
Helpful in workflows where detection of Enterobacteriaceae supports assessment of sanitary quality, process control, or product contamination risk.
