Principle And Interpretation
Salmonella infection leads to salmonellosis, which ranges clinically from self-limited gastroenteritis (diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever) to enteric fevers (including typhoid fever). Shigella species cause classical bacillary dysentery characterized by severe cramping abdominal pain and diarrhea with blood and mucus.Deoxycholate Citrate Lactose Sucrose (DCLS) Agar was originally formulated by Leifson (1) and further modified by Hajna and Damon (2). It is a moderately selective medium for the isolation of gram-negative enteric bacilli from faecal specimens. This medium supports the growth of Salmonella, Shigella species and aerobic Vibrio like Vibrio comma while coliforms and Proteus are inhibited. Salmonella Pullorum and Salmonella Gallinarum grow well on this medium. D.C.L.S. HiVeg™ Agar is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks. The medium contains HiVeg™ peptone, HiVeg™ hydrolysate, HiVeg™ extract and yeast extract, which provide essential nitrogenous and other nutrients for the growth of the organisms. Sucrose and lactose are the fermentable carbohydrates. These two sugars in the medium permit the formation of yellow colonies by the organisms that rapidly ferment either sucrose or lactose or both, e.g. Proteus vulgaris and typical coliforms. This facilitates better selection of members of the genera Shigella and Salmonella which form nearly colourless colonies. The citrate and deoxycholate in the medium suppresses the growth of coliforms and gram-positive organisms respectively. Bromo cresol purple is the pH indicator.
Type of specimen
samples.
Specimen Collection and Handling
After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions
Read the label before opening the container. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/ face protection. Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidelines should be followed while handling clinical specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations
- Further biochemical and serological tests must be carried out for further identification.

Storage and Shelf Life
Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 20-30°C. Use before expiry date on the label. On opening, product should be properly stored dry, after tightly capping the bottle in order to prevent lump formation due to the hygroscopic nature of the product. Improper storage of the product may lead to lump formation. Store in dry ventilated area protected from extremes of temperature and sources of ignition. Seal the container tightly after use. Product performance is best if used within stated expiry period.
Disposal
User must ensure safe disposal by autoclaving and/or incineration of used or unusable preparations of this product. Follow established laboratory procedures in disposing of infectious materials and material that comes into contact with sample must be decontaminated and disposed of in accordance with current laboratory techniques (3,4).
