A comparative assessment has been made of the performance of minerals modified glutamate medium (MMGM), lauryl sulphate tryptose broth (LST), MacConkey broth (MAC) and brilliant green bile broth (BGBB) in the enumeration of coliform organisms present in soft cheese, cooked meat and pâté. The medium MMGM was superior in sensitivity to the other three media and compared favourably with them in specificity; BGBB was inferior to the other media tested.
