Media for Salmonella
Bismuth Sulfite Agar
Bismuth Sulfite (modified Wilson Blair agar) Agar is a selective medium used to isolate Salmonella Typhi and other salmonellas in pathological products of animal origin, water, dairy and other food products. Bismuth Sulfite agar can be used in the normalized methods for Salmonella detection as the second isolation media.
Bismuth Sulfite Agar ISO 6579-1
Bismuth Sulfite Agar ISO 6579-1 is a selective medium used to isolate Salmonella in water, dairy products and other food products.
Brilliant Green Agar (Edel & Kampelmacher)
Brilliant Green agar according to Edel & Kampelmacher is a selective medium used to isolate Salmonella in milk and dairy products. This media can also be used as a second isolation media in the context of the various normalized methods for the detection of Salmonella spp.
Brilliant Green Agar (Kristensen)
Brilliant Green Agar of Kristensen is a highly selective medium used to isolate salmonella, except for Salmonella Typhi, in biological samples of animal origin and food products. The agar can also be used as the second media of choice in the normalized standards for the research and detection of Salmonella.
Hektoen Enteric Agar
Hektoen Enteric Agar is a selective medium for the isolation and differentiation of pathogenic enterobacteria from biological samples of animal origin, water samples, dairy products and other food products. It is used in animal health in the context of Salmonella detection in mammals.
IRIS Salmonella®
IRIS Salmonella® is an alternative research method of Salmonellae in human food and feeds, and environmental sample (except primary production samples). Studies performed on IRIS Salmonella® Agar show a high specificity for the detection of Salmonellae including atypical species and serovars, which is a source of confusion on other medium.
MSRV Medium
Modified Semi-Solid Rappaport-Vassiliadis Agar (MSRV) is a selective medium historically used for the isolation of Salmonella in chocolate and other food products. It is also widely used in animal health: in particular with mammals, poultry and in animal production facilities. It is also recommended for us in the detection of motile Salmonellae in animal fecal matter and in environmental samples in the context of primary animal production.
Müller & Kauffmann broth
Müller & Kauffmann Tetrathionate broth is one the oldest media traditionally used for the selective enrichment of Salmonella.
Rappaport-Vassiliadis Soja (RVS) Broth
Rappaport-Vassiliadis Soja Broth is used for the selective enrichment of Salmonella in milk, dairy products, other food products, water and in environmental samples.
SESAME Salmonella TEST®
SESAME Salmonella TEST® represents an alternative method for the detection of Salmonella in human and animal products, as well as environmental samples (with the exception of those from animal production). This method is destined to the detection of motile Salmonella, and is not adapted to non-motile Salmonella (non-motile strains or that have lost their mobility.
Salmonella Enrichment
Salmonella Enrichment is a special formulation of Buffered Peptone Water that has been created and controlled for optimal detection of Salmonella in food products and feed.
Salmonella-Shigella (SS) Agar
Salmonella-Shigella (SS) agar is used for the isolation of Salmonellae and Shigellae in fecal material. It can also be used as a second media of isolation in the context of standardized methods for the detection of Salmonella.
Selenite-Cystine Broth
Selenite-Cystine broth is used for the selective enrichment of Salmonella in milk and dairy products but also for the characterization of residual sludge It can also be used in animal health for the detection of Salmonella Gallinarum or in water testing.
Tryptophan Broth
Tryptophan broth allows the culture of microorganisms presenting no particular growth requirements. The media is used to perform the indole production test, used notably in the confirmation of Escherichia coli, Shigella and Salmonella.
XLD (Xylose Lysine Desoxycholate) Agar
XLD (Xylose Lysine Desoxycholate) Agar is used for the isolation of Salmonella in pharmaceutical products. The typical composition corresponds to that defined in the American and European Pharmacopeia.
XLT4 (Xylose-Lysine-Tergitol 4) Agar
XLT4 (Xylose-Lysine-Tergitol 4) Agar is a selective isolation medium for the detection of Salmonella, except for Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. It can be used as the second media of choice in the normalized methods of Salmonella detection in food microbiology. It is also used as media of choice in animal health for Salmonella detection.
