New Selective Culture Medium for the Improved Detection of Salmonella Species
go back to news archives | Thermo Scientific has introduced a new, highly selective culture medium to the Thermo Scientific range of products for the detection of Salmonella species. |
The diagnosis of salmonellosis is often complicated by the presence of background flora and other Enterobacteriaceae on an agar plate. The presence of the selective agent, Tergitol-4, in XLT-4 Agar inhibits many of the background flora that can be problematic on other plating media. In addition, chemical and pH changes within the medium allow Salmonella spp. (black colonies) to be differentiated from organisms, such as E. coli (yellow colonies) and Shigella spp. (red colonies). |
