Product Description
Kligler Iron HiVeg® Agar is a specialized microbiological medium formulated to support the growth and differentiation of enteric bacteria. This HiMedia product is widely used in clinical and research laboratories for identifying organisms like Salmonella and Shigella based on their ability to ferment glucose and lactose, along with hydrogen sulfide production.
The agar contains peptones and beef extract as nutrient sources, while the addition of ferrous sulfate allows for the detection of hydrogen sulfide production, indicated by a black precipitate. The inclusion of phenol red serves as a pH indicator, turning yellow in acidic conditions due to sugar fermentation.
