Comparison of CHROMagar Salmonella medium and hektoen enteric agar for isolation of salmonellae from stool samples.
CHROMagar Salmonella (CAS), a new chromogenic medium, was retrospectively compared to Hektoen enteric agar (HEA) with 501 Salmonella stock isolates and was then prospectively compared to HEA for the detection and presumptive identification of Salmonella spp. with 508 stool samples before and after enrichment. All stock cultures (100%), including cultures of H2S-negative isolates, yielded typica...
متن کاملIsolation of Shigellae. 8. Comparison of xylose lysine deoxycholate agar, hektoen enteric agar, Salmonella-Shigella agar, and eosin methylene blue agar with stool specimens.
Two enrichment broths and four plating media were compared for efficiency of detection of enteric pathogens from 1,597 stool specimens. Of 170 salmonellae isolated from the composite of all methods, direct streaking yielded but 54%, whereas enrichment in gram-negative broth found 87% and Selenite-F broth 97%. By contrast, gram-negative broth produced 100% of the 17 shigellae, Selenite-F broth b...
متن کاملComparison of Salmonella chromogenic medium with DCLS agar for isolation of Salmonella species from stool specimens.
Salmonella chromogenic medium (SCM; Oxoid, Basingstoke, United Kingdom), a new selective chromogenic medium, was compared to DCLS agar (Oxoid) for the detection and presumptive identification of Salmonella species from stool samples. This medium contains two chromogenic substrates, Magenta-cap (5-bromo-6-chloro-3-indolylcaprylate), which is hydrolyzed by Salmonella species to give magenta colon...
متن کاملComparison of CHROMagar Salmonella medium and xylose-lysine-desoxycholate and Salmonella-Shigella agars for isolation of Salmonella strains from stool samples.
The growth and appearance of 115 stock Salmonella isolates on a new formulation of CHROMagar Salmonella (CAS) medium were compared to those on xylose-lysine-desoxycholate agar (XLD), Salmonella-Shigella agar (SS), and Hektoen enteric agar (HEA) media. CAS medium was then compared prospectively to XLD and SS for the detection and presumptive identification of Salmonella strains in 500 consecutiv...
متن کاملAlafosfalin as a selective agent for isolation of salmonella from clinical samples.
The selectivity of a range of culture media for the detection of Salmonella was assessed using 435 strains of gram-negative bacteria. These media showed limited ability to inhibit non-Salmonella strains found in stool samples. We report the evaluation of alafosfalin as a selective agent for isolation of Salmonella from stool samples. Susceptibility studies with this agent showed that non-typhi ...
