Recommended for the selective isolation of bacteria responsible for food poisoning as recommended by BIS committee under the specifications IS:5887 (Part III)-1999.
Brilliant Green Agar Base w/ Phosphates is recommended for the selective isolation of bacteria responsible for food poisoning as recommended by BIS committee under the specifications IS:5887 (Part III)-1999. The medium can be further supplemented with sulphacetamide (1 g/l) and sodium mandelate (0.25 g/l) to inhibit contaminating microorganisms when the sample is suspected to be containing large number of competing organisms along with Salmonella species.
