Introduction
This document describes a method for the detection of Salmonella spp. in fertilizers of the following
Product Function Categories (PFCs) of EU fertilizing products, as described in the Regulation (EU)
2019/1009 [1]:
— PFC 1(A): Organic fertilizer;
— PFC 1(B): Organo-mineral fertilizer;
— PFC 1(C): Inorganic fertilizer, which contains more than 1 % by mass of organic carbon, other than
organic carbon from chelating or complexing agents, nitrification inhibitors, denitrification
inhibitors or urease inhibitors, coating agents, urea or calcium cyanamide. The present method was
validated on products known as present on the market in April 2021 and conform to Regulation (EU)
2019/1009 [1] that are inorganic fertilizers with more than 1 % of organic carbon such as struvite
with low level of organic matter. In case that other products would be developed having other
physical and chemical characteristics, it might become necessary to develop different methods to
correctly account for pathogenic microorganisms they might contain.
1 Scope
This document is applicable to fertilizing products, which are classified as PFC 1(A) and PFC 1(B) or the
PFC 1(A) and PFC 1(B) component in PFC 7 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 [1]. However, the present
method was not validated for blends.
This document specifies a method for the detection of Salmonella spp. in organic, organo-mineral and
inorganic fertilizers. The method is based on EN ISO 6579-1 and its validated alternative methods for the
detection of Salmonella spp. in food and feeding stuff.
It requires three successive steps: A selective enrichment, an isolation on a chromogenic agar, and if
positive a confirmation with a serological test (and if required, a selective media).

4 Principle
4.1 General
The detection of Salmonella spp. requires three successive steps as specified in normative Annex A. The
three steps are the selective enrichment, the isolation on a chromogenic agar, and the confirmation with
a serological test (and if required, a selective media).
NOTE Salmonella can be present in small numbers and are often accompanied by considerably larger numbers
of other bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae or of other families. Enrichment is used to allow the detection of low
numbers of Salmonella or stressed Salmonella.
Stressed microorganisms are defined in this document as those present in the environment that might be injured
or that might have developed in harsh environments. Such organisms can be difficult to detect because they struggle
to grow on selective media. However, under suitable conditions, they can repair the cellular damage and recover
their normal properties.
Alternative methods based on molecular biology can be used if giving the same results as those given in this
document (see EN ISO 7218).
4.2 Enrichment in selective liquid medium
Buffered peptone water (BPW) containing 10 mg/l novobiocin at room temperature is inoculated with
the test portion (refer to 9.1), then incubated between 34 °C and 38 °C for 18 h ± 2 h.
For large quantities (e.g. 1 l or more), it is recommended to pre-warm the BPW to 34 °C to 38 °C before
mixing it with the test portion.
4.3 Plating out on selective solid media
From the enrichment obtained in 4.2, the chromogenic solid media (5.2) is inoculated.
This selective agar is incubated between 34 °C and 38 °C for 24 h ± 3 h (or according to the
manufacturer’s instructions if explicitly recommended).
4.4 Confirmation
Colonies of presumptive Salmonella are confirmed by means of appropriate serological test. If the
serological test gives a negative result, the inoculation of a selective agar (Table C.2) is required. If the
test gives a negative result, up to 4 other presumptive colonies will be tested (if possible and up to
5 colonies in total).
5 Culture media and reagents
5.1 General
For current laboratory practice, see EN ISO 7218 and EN ISO 11133.
Composition of culture media and reagents and their preparation are described in Annex B.
5.2 Isolation chromogenic agar
This isolation medium is chosen by the testing laboratory and shall highlight the C8-esterase enzymatic
activity. For examples of isolation media, see Table C.1.
5.3 Non-selective agar
General purpose agar supporting the growth of a wide range of non-fastidious strains is chosen by the
testing laboratory. For example, for non-selective aga
