This media is also used for the pre-enrichment of Salmonella and for Cronobacter sakazakii, by allowing the resuscitation of microorganisms having undergone sublethal treatments as in the case of spray drying, pasteurization, action of conservators, elevated osmotic pressure and high acidity (NF EN ISO 6579-1, ISO 22964...).
