NEOGEN XLT4 Agar, 5 kg

Supplier: NEOGEN 700003252

XLT4 Agar is used with Tergitol 4 for the isolation of non-typhi Salmonella spp and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. XLT4 Agar is a selective differential isolation medium for the specific detection of Salmonella spp. from environmental and food samples. Due to its highly selective nature, XLT4 Agar is particularly effective when used with samples where overgrowth of contaminating flora is expected, for example, fecally contaminated agricultural samples. Developed to perform as per Miller & Tate in 1990, this medium was found to improve the recovery of non-typhi Salmonella from chicken and farm environmental samples. Dusch and Altwegg further established the application of XLT4 Agar to salmonellae detection in clinical samples, with the notable exceptions of Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/xlt4-agar
