SS AGAR W/ SUCROSE

Salmonella and Shigella are gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-sporulating rods in the family Enterobacteriaceae. They are widely distributed in animals, infecting mainly the stomach and the intestinal tissues. SS Agar is recommended as differential and selective medium for the isolation of Salmonella and Shigella species from pathological specimens and suspected foodstuffs and for microbial limit test. SS Agar is a moderately selective medium in which gram- positive bacteria are inhibited by bile salts, brilliant green and sodium citrate.
