Evaluation and implementation of a chromogenic agar medium for salmonella detection in stool in routine laboratory diagnostics.

چکیده
We evaluated which chromogenic agar medium for Salmonella detection in stool would be most sensitive and specific in our culture protocol. The use of BBL CHROMagar Salmonella chromogenic medium combined with xylose-lysine-deoxycholate agar yielded a sensitivity of 100% and also reduced workload and costs.

Comparison of Salmonella chromogenic medium with DCLS agar for isolation of Salmonella species from stool specimens.
Salmonella chromogenic medium (SCM; Oxoid, Basingstoke, United Kingdom), a new selective chromogenic medium, was compared to DCLS agar (Oxoid) for the detection and presumptive identification of Salmonella species from stool samples. This medium contains two chromogenic substrates, Magenta-cap (5-bromo-6-chloro-3-indolylcaprylate), which is hydrolyzed by Salmonella species to give magenta colon...
متن کاملABC medium, a new chromogenic agar for selective isolation of Salmonella spp.
We describe a new chromogenic agar medium, ABC medium (alphabeta-chromogenic medium), which includes two substrates, 3, 4-cyclohexenoesculetin-beta-D-galactoside and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside, to facilitate the selective isolation of Salmonella spp. This medium exploits the fact that Salmonella spp. may be distinguished from other members of the family Enterobacteriac...
متن کاملComparison of four chromogenic media and Hektoen agar for detection and presumptive identification of Salmonella strains in human stools.
Several chromogenic media have been developed to enhance the specificity of Salmonella detection. We compared the performance of four commercial chromogenic media-namely, ABC medium (Lab M. Ltd., Bury, United Kingdom), COMPASS Salmonella agar (Biokar Diagnostics, Beauvais, France), CHROMagar Salmonella agar (CHROMagar Company, Paris, France), and SM ID agar (bioMerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France)-...
متن کاملAlafosfalin as a selective agent for isolation of salmonella from clinical samples.
The selectivity of a range of culture media for the detection of Salmonella was assessed using 435 strains of gram-negative bacteria. These media showed limited ability to inhibit non-Salmonella strains found in stool samples. We report the evaluation of alafosfalin as a selective agent for isolation of Salmonella from stool samples. Susceptibility studies with this agent showed that non-typhi ...
متن کاملCHROMagar Yersinia, a new chromogenic agar for screening of potentially pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica isolates in stools.
CHROMagar Yersinia (CAY) is a new chromogenic medium for the presumptive detection of virulent Yersinia enterocolitica in stools. Based on a comparative analysis of 1,494 consecutive stools from hospitalized patients, CAY was found to be just as sensitive as the reference medium (cefsulodin-irgasan-novobiocin agar) but was significantly more specific and had a very low false-positive rate. CAY ...
