SS Agar Medium

SS Agar Medium

SS Agar (Salmonella Shigella agar) is mainly used for the selective isolation and cultivation of Salmonella and Shigella. Peptone and beef extract provide carbon sources, nitrogen sources, vitamins, and minerals; lactose is a fermentable carbohydrate; sodium bile salts, sodium citrate, and brilliant green inhibit Gram-positive bacteria and most coliforms and Proteus, but do not affect the growth of Salmonella. Sodium thiosulfate and ammonium ferrous citrate are used to detect the production of hydrogen sulfide, which causes the center of the colonies to turn black. Neutral red is a pH indicator; colonies that ferment sugar produce acid and appear red, while colonies that do not ferment sugar remain colorless. Agar is the solidifying agent in the medium.
