TRIPLE SUGAR IRON AGAR SLANT is supplied by TM Media. It is a medium utilized to distinguish between gram-negative enteric bacilli by examining their ability to ferment carbohydrates and generate hydrogen sulfide. TSI Agar is employed to differentiate gram-negative bacilli based on their ability to ferment carbohydrates and produce hydrogen sulfide. Sucrose was added to the original Kligler Iron Agar that contained lactose and dextrose. This addition made the TSI Agar more sensitive, enabling the detection of bacilli that can ferment sucrose, lactose, and/or dextrose. Carbohydrate fermentation is determined by the presence of gas and a colour change in the pH indicator (phenol red), which turns from red to yellow. The formation of hydrogen sulfide is detected by a precipitate that darkens the medium in the tube's bottom.
