Specs & features.

Salmonella Shigella (SS) Agar 500g is a highly selective and differential culture medium used primarily to isolate and distinguish pathogenic enteric bacilli like Salmonella and Shigella from clinical and food samples. It inhibits the growth of unwanted Gram-positive bacteria and most coliforms.

No specifications have been listed.

  • Selective Inhibition: Contains bile salts, sodium citrate, and brilliant green to suppress Gram-positive bacteria and non-pathogenic lactose fermenters.
  • Visual Differentiation: Uses neutral red as a pH indicator to distinguish between lactose fermenters and non-fermenters.
  • Hydrogen Sulfide (\(H_{2}S\)) Detection: Formulated with sodium thiosulfate and ferric citrate to detect \(H_{2}S\) production.
