This medium is recommended for selective isolation of Salmonellae other than Salmonella Typhi from faeces, food & dairy products. Being highly selective, it is recommended to use less inhibitory medium to increase the chances of recovery. Fermentation of lactose and/or sucrose in the medium results in the formation of acidic pH which is detected by phenol red indicator. Brilliant green contributes to selectivity. Sulpha Supplement (FD068) can be added for additional selectivity.
