Brilliant Green Agar Medium for Selective Isolation of Salmonella – BABIO

BABIO (Jinan BaiBo Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), a leading Chinese manufacturer of diagnostic solutions, offers Brilliant Green Agar Medium, designed for the selective isolation of Salmonella species (excluding S. typhi and Shigella), in accordance with USP standards.

This highly selective medium is widely used in clinical microbiology, food safety testing, and pharmaceutical labs to efficiently isolate and identify Salmonella from diverse samples. The medium contains essential nutrients and selective agents, including Brilliant Green, which inhibits the growth of Gram-positive and many Gram-negative bacteria, ensuring Salmonella can thrive without competition.

Key Ingredients:

• Pancreatic Digest of Casein and Animal Tissue: Provide essential nitrogen and growth factors for Salmonella development.

• Lactose and Sucrose: Serve as fermentable sugars to aid in distinguishing Salmonella through fermentation.

• Brilliant Green: Inhibits unwanted bacterial growth, ensuring Salmonella remains unaffected.

• Phenol Red: Acts as a pH indicator for easy detection of fermentation.

• Agar: Solidifies the medium, allowing colony formation.

Preparation: To prepare the medium, suspend 58g of powder in 1 liter of distilled water. Sterilize at 121°C for 15 minutes, and cool to 50°C before pouring into Petri dishes.

Applications: Brilliant Green Agar Medium is ideal for isolating Salmonella from food products, water, and clinical specimens. The medium’s selective properties ensure accurate identification of Salmonella colonies, which appear red due to sugar fermentation. Non-target organisms like E. coli typically show yellow to green colonies.
