Buy Xylose-Lysine Deoxycholate Agar (USP/EP/BP/IP) | MH031-100G | Himedia online today and experience the difference in quality and performance.
XLD Agar contains several key components that facilitate the selective isolation and differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae. The xylose and lysine in the medium support the growth of specific bacteria, while deoxycholate inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative bacteria, allowing for the selective isolation of Enterobacteriaceae.
This medium is particularly useful in clinical settings for the isolation of Salmonella and Shigella from clinical specimens, as well as in food microbiology for the detection of these pathogens in food samples. The differentiation of colonies on XLD Agar is based on the fermentation of xylose and the production of hydrogen sulfide, which helps in the identification of Salmonella and Shigella.
