Biochemical Diagnostic Methods

A

1) Eosin-Methylene Blue (EMB) medium: pink colonies (lactase negative)
2) Brillant-green medium: Lactose, dextrose, saccharose with Andrade indicator will appear

with no color (salmonella is lactose negative, E. Coli will show red)
3) Bismuth-sulfite medium: on bismuth salt + sodium sulfite medium, salmonella H2S
production will cause bismuth sulfide to be colored black (selective for salmonella)
4) Salmonella-Shigella (Hektoen) medium: black colonies (to distinguish from shigella)
