BIO-MED DIAGNOSTICS, INC. 21-223-001 InTray® COLOREX Salmonella

A chromogenic medium for selective isolation and differentiation of Salmonella species, (e.g., Enterobacteriaceae and other enteric bacteria).The test can be performed with samples composed of mixed populations of bacteria, e.g stool, blood, biological fluids, surface streaks, etc. High sensitivity and specificity of the medium lead to a higher detection rate of Salmonella spp. Selective agents inhibit the growth of gram-positive organisms. Artificial substrates are metabolized by specific microbial enzymes liberating insoluble chromogenic compounds. Salmonella species produce deep pink to mauve colored colonies. Bacteria other than Salmonella spp. produce blue colonies, or are colorless or inhibited.
