Brilliant Green Phenol Red Lactose Agar is primarily used for the selective isolation of Salmonella species from water samples. This medium is formulated by Edel and Kampelmacher. Solid selective media are used after the liquid enrichment steps for detection and isolation of Salmonella species. In order to increase the probability of detecting Salmonella organisms, at least two different medias are inoculated from selective enrichment cultures. This includes Brilliant green phenol red lactose agar, XLD agar or Bismuth sulphite agar. The occurrence of typical colonies of Salmonella species on selective agar media is not sufficient evidence for the presence of Salmonella species, hence it is necessary to subculture presumptive Salmonella colonies on different media for biochemical and serological confirmation. Colonies on Brilliant Green Phenol Red Lactose Agar which are red or slightly pink-white and opaque with red surroundings should be used for confirmation tests.
