  2. XLD agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XLD_agar

    Salmonella species: red colonies, some with black centers. The agar itself will turn red due to the presence of Salmonella type colonies. Shigella species: red colonies. Coliforms: yellow to orange colonies. Pseudomonas aeruginosa: pink, flat, rough colonies. This type of colony can be easily mistaken for Salmonella due to the color similarities.

  3. Bismuth sulfite agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth_sulfite_agar

    After 24 hours of growth, this image depicts four different agar media culture plates that had been inoculated with Shigella sp., Escherichia sp., and Proteus sp. bacteria, (clockwise: MacConkey, Shigella-Salmonella, Bismuth Sulfite, and Brilliant Green agars). Bismuth sulfite agar is a type of agar media used to isolate Salmonella species.

  4. DCA agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCA_agar

    Salmonella spp appear to be yellow or colourless colonies, often with a dark centre. As there are many bacteria that also look like Salmonella on DCA, it is widely recommended that more selective agars are used for the identification of Salmonella, namely xylose lysine deoxycholate (XLD) agar. This growth medium is heat-sensitive and should be ...

  5. Selenite broth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenite_broth

    Selenite broth is used as a selective medium for the isolation of Salmonella species. [1] Selenite broth was originated by Leifson, [2] while observing good recovery of Salmonella spp. and reduced growth of fecal coliforms. Selenite broth is used as a selective enrichment for the cultivation of Salmonella spp. that may be present in small ...

  6. Hektoen enteric agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hektoen_enteric_agar

    Hektoen enteric agar (HEK, HE or HEA) is a selective and differential agar [1] primarily used to recover Salmonella and Shigella from patient specimens. HEA contains indicators of lactose fermentation and hydrogen sulfide production; as well as inhibitors to prevent the growth of Gram-positive bacteria.

  7. Salmonellosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonellosis

    Salmonellosis is a symptomatic infection caused by bacteria of the Salmonella type. [1] It is the most common disease to be known as food poisoning (though the name refers to food-borne illness in general), these are defined as diseases, usually either infectious or toxic in nature, caused by agents that enter the body through the ingestion of food.

  8. Salmonella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonella

    Salmonella species are intracellular pathogens, [6] of which certain serotypes cause illness such as salmonellosis. Most infections are due to the ingestion of food contaminated by feces. Typhoidal Salmonella serotypes can only be transferred between humans and can cause foodborne illness as well as typhoid and paratyphoid fever.
