Description

Selectively isolate and differentiate Salmonella species other than Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Paratyphi using this medium.

Selectively isolate and differentiate Salmonella species other than Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Paratyphi from foods, eggs, meat products, or other materials using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Brilliant Green Sulpha Agar (Dehydrated). Osborne and Stokes modified the formula of Kristensen by adding sodium sulfapyridine that enhanced the selectivity of the medium and improved the recovery of Salmonella from egg products¹. Brilliant Green Sulpha Agar is recommended by the APHA and USDA for selective isolation of Salmonella from foods, eggs, and meat products^2,3.

This medium contains casein and meat peptones which provide nitrogen, amino acids and peptides necessary for bacterial growth. Yeast extract is a source of B-complex vitamins. Sodium chloride is a source of essential electrolytes and maintains osmotic equilibrium. Lactose- and sucrose-fermenting colonies occasionally growing on this medium will be yellow-green in color surrounded by a yellow-green zone.

• Selective media: Brilliant Green dye is a selective agent which inhibited gram-positive bacteria and most gram-negative Bacilli.
• Recommended by the APHA and USDA for selective isolation of Salmonella from food, eggs and meat products^2,3.
