Distilled water ad 1000 ml, mix ingredients and heat to boiling max 1-2 min., adjust pH 7.7, do not autoclave. Cool
to 50 ºC and pour in plates.
PROCEDURE
Disperse culture or pathologic material on the medium surface, then incubate 48 hours at 37 ºC.
RESULTS
Salmonella strains (excepting S. paratyphi A & S. pullorum) form black-centre, metallic colonies.

DESCRIPTION
Selective medium for the isolation and differentiation of Salmonella from clinical specimens.
Bismuth-sulfite and brilliant green inhibit the associated microflora . H2S-positive salmonellae form black colonies
due to iron sulfide formation. Reduction of bismuth ions to metallic bismuth produces the metallic look of the
colonies.
