Microzo Salmonella Shigella Agar Base Dehydrated Culture Media - 100gm Pack of 1 Bottle (MDSS05)

Microzo Salmonella Shigella (SS) Agar Base Dehydrated Culture Media is expertly designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of Salmonella and Shigella species from clinical and environmental samples. This medium employs a combination of selective agents and differential indicators to enhance the growth of target organisms while inhibiting the growth of non-target bacteria. Ideal for use in clinical diagnostics, research, and food safety laboratories, Microzo SS Agar Base ensures high precision and reliability in microbial analysis.

• Selective Agents: The inclusion of bile salts and brilliant green dye effectively inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and many Gram-negative non-pathogens, focusing on the target pathogens.
• Differential Indicators: Lactose and neutral red are utilized to differentiate lactose fermenters from non-fermenters, with clear visual distinction through colony coloration.
• H2S Detection: Sodium thiosulfate and ferric citrate are incorporated to detect hydrogen sulfide production, aiding in the identification of Salmonella species by producing characteristic black-centered colonies.
• Optimized Composition: Contains essential nutrients and selective agents in precise concentrations: peptone, lactose, bile salts, sodium thiosulfate, and ferric citrate.

• High Specificity: Exhibits excellent specificity for Salmonella and Shigella, with documented performance indicating over 90% accuracy in differentiating these pathogens from other enteric bacteria.
• Rapid Identification: Facilitates the quick identification of pathogens through distinct colony morphology and color changes, significantly accelerating the diagnostic process.
• Consistency and Reliability: Manufactured under stringent quality control protocols, ensuring consistent performance and reliable results in every batch.
• Convenient Format: Dehydrated formulation simplifies media preparation, storage, and handling, making it ideal for high-throughput laboratories and ensuring long shelf life without compromising quality.

Microzo Salmonella Shigella Agar Base Dehydrated Culture Media provides an efficient and reliable medium for the isolation and differentiation of critical enteric pathogens, offering a robust tool for clinical and research microbiologists dedicated to ensuring accurate microbial diagnostics.
