To establish a detection method of food borne Proteeae pathogens, we compared different enrichment broths and different selective agars on Proteeae pathogen growth, correlated with the biochemical characteristics of the pathogens. The results showed that EE enrichment broth was more efficient than GN broth, and the selective agars were EMB agar plus SS agar (or MacConkey agar). The preliminary screen methods were Gram-stain reaction and phenylalanine deaminase reaction. The Proteeae pathogens were finally confirmed by other biochemical tests. This method was sensitive and had a broad scope of detection, could provide experimental basis for new standard.
