Enterobacteria Enrichment Broth-Mossel (EP/USP/JP/BP) was formulated to overcome the unsatisfactory effects of inhibition on small numbers of bile-tolerant Gram-negative cells due to bile salt variations. The inclusion of purified ox bile eliminated these problems and a preliminary assay can be used to check growth by inoculating approximately one viable cell per medium unit^{2, 3}.

Enterobacteria Enrichment Broth-Mossel (EP/USP/JP/BP) should be used as an enrichment broth in conjunction with Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar (R455302).
