BISMUTH SULPHITE AGAR (VEG.) is supplied by TM MEDIA. It is used for selective isolation of Salmonellae from faeces, urine, sewage, and other materials. Bismuth Sulphite Agar was stable, sensitive, and found to be superior to Wilsons original medium. Brilliant green and bismuth sulphite incorporated into the medium inhibits the intestinal gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Salmonella serotype Typhi, Salmonella serotype Enteritidis, and Salmonella serotype Typhimurium typically grow as black colonies with a surrounding metallic sheen resulting from hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) production and reduction of sulphite to black ferric sulphide.
