Dulcitol Selenite Broth is used for selective enrichment of Salmonella species. It can also be used for detecting Salmonella from faeces, dairy products and other specimens. Dulcitol is typically fermented by Salmonella Choleraesuis subspecies Salamae, subspecies Gallinarum, subspecies Paratyphi A, subspecies Pullorum, subspecies Choleraesuis. For routine purpose, enriched selenite broth cultures should be further subcultured on any combination of greater and lesser inhibitory selective agars.
