    XLT-4 Agar

    Xylose Lysine Tergitol-4 is a selective culture medium for the isolation and identification of non-typhi Salmonellae from food and environmental samples. It is similar to XLD agar however the agar is supplemented with the surfactant, Tergitol 4, which causes inhibition of Proteus spp. and other non-Salmonellae. Successful growth of Salmonella will result in growth of red colonies with a black center.

    Double Modified Lysine Iron Agar (DMLIA)

    DMLIA is recommended for the selective and differential isolation of Salmonella spp. from food. However, some Salmonella spp. could be overlooked on LIA due to their atypical appearance and the growth of non-salmonella Enterobacteriaceae. LIA was modified to provide better detection of hydrogen sulfide-positive and -negative strains through the addition of novobiocin, bile salts, lactose, and sucrose.

    Brilliant Green Agar with Novobiocin

    BGN: BG Sulfa Agar is a selective medium recommended for the isolation of Salmonellae other than S. typhi and S. paratyphi, from food samples. The addition of novobiocin to the medium reduces the incidence of competitor organisms with Salmonella.

    Standard Methods Agar

    Standard Methods Agar conforms to APHA (American Public Health Association) and AOAC (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) specifications for the enumeration of bacteria in dairy, food and other sanitary materials. This formulation is also synonymous with Plate Count Agar and Tryptone Glucose Yeast Agar, also used in standard methods.

    Modified Oxford Listeria (MOX)

    MOX with addition of antibiotics, is used for the selective isolation of Listeria monocytogenes from food. Typically, L. mono is visible after 24 hours but continued incubation may allow for the detection of slower growing stains.
