Abstract
This invention generally relates to products and processes used to determine the presence of microbes in a sample and particularly relates to a conditioned culture medium which may be used in products and processes to allow early detection and enumeration of such microbes. The conditioned culture medium preferably is a filtered broth made by inoculating viable microbes with gelatin, casein or animal peptones as well as lactose, sodium chloride, bile salts, guar gum and an indicator.
