CHROMOGENIC SALMONELLA AGAR, MODIFIED *

Chromogenic Salmonella Agar, Modified is used for differentiation of Salmonella species from Proteus species and other enteric bacteria. The original formulation is based on the novel characteristic of Salmonella species to produce acid from propylene glycol, which is detected by indicators present in the medium. This media is unique because it is not based on acid production by propylene glycol. This media like many other media such as SS Agar, XLD Agar, recommended for the identification and differentiation of Salmonella species are based on lactose fermentation.

for identi?cation and di?erentiation of Salmonella species from among the members of Enterobacteriaceae, especially Proteus species
