SPECIFICATION

 

  • Bismuth Sulfite Agar is used for the isolation of Salmonella spp. 
  • A modification by Wilson and Blair, Bismuth Sulfite Agar uses Bismuth and Sodium Sulfite for the selective isolation and of typhoid and non-typhoid Salmonella. 
  • This medium is used particularly for the isolation of Salmonella typhi from clinical and environmental specimens including food, feces, urine, and sewage.
  • Bismuth and brilliant green dye act as inhibitors to most enteric bacteria and Gram positive bacteria but allow Salmonella typhi to produce black colonies surrounded by a metallic sheen.
