Overview

Selectively isolate salmonellae other than Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A from and food samples with InMicro® Dehydrated: MLCB Agar. MLCB Agar is based on the formula of Inoue et al. for the selective isolation of salmonellae from feces and foods. Visual detection of very small numbers of hydrogen sulphide-producing strains is easy because of the distinctive colonial appearance.

Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) is a common bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. Salmonella bacteria typically live in animal and human intestines and are shed through feces. Humans become infected most frequently through contaminated water or food.

Use MLCB Agar for selective isolation of other than Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi A from feces and food samples. The medium may be inoculated directly with the specimen or from an enrichment culture.

Salmonellae grow as large purple-black colonies due to hydrogen sulphide production. Mannitol is utilized by the organism and the resultant pH fall initiates lysine decarboxylation which controls further downward pH movement and promotes blackening.

MLCB Agar does not depend on lactose fermentation and is therefore recommended when investigating lactose-fermenting salmonellae (Salmonella arizona).

Atypical Salmonella strains that produce little or no hydrogen sulphide grow as mauve-grey colonies and may develop a central black `bull’s eye’.
