This microbiology paper compared enrichment broths for isolating Salmonella, including media built on strontium chloride and strontium selenite. Strontium chloride broth performed comparably to Rappaport broth and better than selenite F for most sample types. Strontium is used here as a selective culture-medium ingredient, not as an exposure of interest.
Key numbers
- This paper reports no numerical findings relevant to strontium exposure.
Methods (brief)
Parallel enrichment of human, animal, meat-product and effluent samples in strontium chloride, Rappaport, selenite F and strontium selenite broths, with subculture to solid media and serotyping.
Evidence fitness
Off-topic for dietary exposure: it supports only the use of strontium salts as selective components of Salmonella culture media. It does not support exposure, toxicity or gut microbiome claims.
Limitations
Laboratory method comparison from 1972; strontium concentrations in media are not relevant to food exposure.
