描述

Salmonella and Shigella are major causes of bacterial enteric illness with transmission occurring via the fecal-oral route, person-to-person contact, or by the ingestion of contaminated food or water.

Use XLD Medium for the screening of samples containing mixed flora suspected of harboring enteric pathogens, e.g., medical specimens or food products.

• Easy-to-read: easily differentiate Salmonella (red colonies with black centers) from Shigella(red colonies) and other coliforms (yellow, opaque colonies).
• Superior sensitivity and selectivity: exceeds that of the traditional plating media e.g., Eosin Methylene Blue and Bismuth Sulphite Agars, which tend to suppress the growth of shigellae.
