The invention relates to a culture medium for simultaneous composite enrichment of five kinds of food-borne pathogenic bacteria, namely Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Shigella, and a preparation method for the culture medium. Food-borne pathogenic bacteria are a significant reason to cause food positioning, so the rapid and accurate detection of the food-borne pathogenic bacteria has an important practical significance for preventing and controlling food safety incidents. The culture medium is characterized by comprising the following components: 10.0 g of peptone, 10.0 g of sodium chloride, 9.0 g of disodium hydrogen phosphate, 1.5 g of monopotassium phosphate, 0.1 g of cholate, 0.1 mg of potassium tellurite, 1.0 g of lithium chloride, 3.0 g of glucose, 2.0 g of mannitol, 2.5 g of sodium pyruvate, 1.0 g of aesculin and 1,000 mL of distilled water, wherein the pH value is 7.1 to 7.5. The culture medium can simultaneously enrich five kinds of target pathogenic bacteria, can be used for separation and identification of target bacteria, can also be used for the molecular detection of multiple pathogenic bacteria on the same detection platform, provides technical support for a method for rapidly detecting five kinds of pathogenic bacteria in food, and meets the requirement of simultaneous detection of five kinds of food-borne pathogenic bacteria.
