The present disclosure provides a method of detecting a target bacterium. The method includes forming a primary enrichment culture that includes a test sample, a primary enrichment medium and a redox dye; incubating the primary enrichment culture for a first period of time equal to eight hours or less; assessing the primary enrichment culture during the first period of time to detect whether the redox dye changes from a first state to a second state; if the second state is detected in the primary enrichment culture during the first period of time, mixing a portion of the primary enrichment culture with a secondary enrichment medium to form a secondary enrichment culture and incubating the secondary enrichment culture for a second period of time; and performing a test to detect the target bacterium using a portion of the second enrichment culture.
