Thermo Scientific™ Hynes Desoxycholate Citrate Agar (Dehydrated)

Description

• Isolate and differentiate Salmonella and Shigella species from clinical samples easily and with improved selectivity using Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Hynes Desoxycholate Citrate Agar (Dehydrated)
• The medium is pale pink and clear
• Lactose fermenting organisms produce pink colonies and may be surrounded by a zone of precipitated desoxycholic acid
• The colonies of non-lactose fermenters are colorless, and, due to their alkaline reaction, they are surrounded by a clear orange-yellow zone of medium
• An improved medium, based on the Hynes 1 modification of Leifsons 2 medium, Desoxycholate Citrate Agar (Hynes Modification) makes the isolation of salmonellae and shigellae easier
• Easier colony selection: improved medium gives larger and more numerous colonies of Shigella species which can easily be picked off and emulsified in saline for slide agglutination tests Improved selectivity: more inhibitory to coliforms and Proteus species than the original Desoxycholate Citrate Agar (Part No
