Brilliant Green Agar Base w/ Phosphates

Brilliant Green Agar Base w/ Phosphates is recommended for selective isolation of Salmonellae while inhibiting Escherichia coli, Proteus and Pseudomonas species. It is recommended by the ISO Committee because of its improved performance with respect to recovery of smaller numbers of Salmonella species, inhibition of Escherichia coli , Proteus species and Pseudomonas species. The medium can further supplemented with sulphacetamide (1g/l) and sodium mandelate (0.25g/l) to inhibit contaminating microorganisms when the sample is suspected to contain large number of competing organisms along with Salmonella species.
