Sim Medium (Dehydrated), Differentiate Enteric Bacteria On The Basis Of Sulphide Production, Indole Production And Motility With This Medium, Each

Details:

Differentiate enteric bacteria on the basis of sulphide production, indole production and motility with thermo scientific™ oxoid™ sim medium (dehydrated). The medium contains sodium thiosulphate and ferrous ammonium sulphate, which together act as indicators for the production of hydrogen sulphide. Tryptone incorporated into the medium is a tryptophan-rich peptone and is degraded by specific bacteria to produce indole. The use of 0.35% Agar in the medium results in the production of a semi-solid medium, ideal for the examination of motility.A motility-indole medium has been found to be helpful in the identification of the enterobacteriaceae; e.G. In the differentiation of klebsiella from enterobacter and serratia species1. For convenience, these two important tests have been combined with sulphide-production in one tube. The production of hydrogen sulphide is a useful diagnostic test in the identification of enteric bacteria and is helpful in the differentiation between salmonella and shigella.
