Deoxycholate Citrate Agar, HiVeg, 500G

This animal free medium is prepared as per the modified formula of Leifson. This medium is used for the isolation and maximum recovery of intestinal pathogens belonging to Salmonella and Shigella groups from foods. However, it is recommended to use less inhibitory medium when Shigella have to be isolated. The selectivity of this medium permits the use of fairly heavy inocula without danger of overgrowth of Shigella and Salmonella by other microflora. This medium is similar to Deoxycholate agar in comparison but is moderately more selective for enteric pathogens owing to increased concentrations of both citrate and Deoxycholate salts. Application: For Isolation of Enteric Pathogens Appearance of powder: Pinkish beige colored, homogeneous, free flowing powder Gelling: Firm, comparable with 1.35% Agar gel Color and Clarity: Reddish orange colored, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in petri plates Reaction of 7.0% w/v aqueous solution is pH 7.5 ± 0.2 at 25°C Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35-37°C for 18 - 24 hours
