Principle:

Salmonella Shigella agar composed of proteose peptone, meat extract, lactose, bile salts, sodium citrate, sodium thio-sulphate, ferric citrate, neutral red, brilliant green and agar. Proteose peptone and meat extract provide essential growth nutrients. Lactose is the fermentable carbohydrate. Brilliant green, bile salts and thiosulphate provide selectively and inhibit gram-positive and coliform organisms. Certain organisms reduce sodium thiosulphate to sulphite and H2S gas. Sodium thiosulfate and ferric citrate allow the detection of hydrogen sulfide by the production of colonies with black centers. Neutral red and brilliant green are present as pH indicators.

Use: Recommended for the selective isolation and determination of Salmonella and some Shigella species from clinical and non-clinical samples.
