CHROMOGENIC SALMONELLA AGAR

Chromogenic Salmonella Agar is a modification of the original formulation of Rambach, 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. These media are unique, because it is not based on acid production by propylene glycol. These 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.
