Brilliant Green Agar (Edel & Kampelmacher)
Brilliant Green agar according to Edel & Kampelmacher is a selective medium used to isolate Salmonella in food products including dairy products.
This media can also be used as a second isolation media in the context of the various normalized methods for the detection of Salmonella spp.
Dehydrated medium: 500g bottle.
In compliance with regulatory requirements, a USDA permit (VS 16-3) is mandatory for shipments from Canada to the USA due to the inclusion of peptone, an animal byproduct.
The medium contains two carbohydrates, lactose and sucrose for which the fermentation of either results in a decrease in pH. This results in the appearance of yellow-green colonies in the presence of the pH indicator, phenol red.
Brilliant green inhibits Gram-positive bacteria and most Gram-negative bacteria.
In comparison to the Kristensen medium, this medium was enriched with nutritive factors and inhibiting power was reduced.
