Q

XLD contents

A

Xylose - shigella = non-fermentor

Lysine - Salmonella ferment xylose quick and move onto lysine

Deoxycholate - reduce Gram pos orgs

Sodium thiosulphate and ferric = H2S production

Q

XLD - appearance of Salmonella

A

NO YELLOW - ferments xylose and lysine which reverts pH

usually black centres due to H2S production
