The invention discloses a composite enrichment culture medium capable of simultaneously enriching three food-borne pathogenic bacteria, namely Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and salmonella, and a preparation method. The formula of the culture medium comprises the following components of, in parts by weight, 15.0-19.0 parts of tryptone, 2.7-3.3 parts of peptone, 5.5-6.5 parts of yeast extract, 4.5-5.5 parts of sodium chloride, 2.25-2.75 parts of dipotassium phosphate, 8.6-10.6 parts of disodium hydrogen phosphate, 1.22-1.48 parts of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 24.0-30.0 parts of peptone, 14.0-18.0 parts of beef powder, 10.0-14.0 parts of soy peptone, 2.0-5.0 parts of glucose, 0.10-0.30 part of actinomycete ketone, 2.5-3.5 parts of mannitol, 4.5-6.5 parts of sodium pyruvate, 0.00125-0.00300 part of acridine yellow, 0.0007813-0.0032500 part of fosfomycin sodium and 1000 parts of distilled water, and the pH value of theculture medium is 6.8-7.4. The single enrichmenteffect of the composite enrichment culture medium is superior to that of respective selective enrichment liquid, growth of non-target bacteria can be well inhibited, under the condition that non-target bacteria exist, the culture medium can further achieve constant-speed and rapid proliferation of the three target bacteria.
