OXOID
Oxoid™ Triple Sugar Iron Agar (500g) is a differential medium used for the identification of enteric bacteria, particularly Salmonella and Shigella species. This medium contains three sugars—glucose, lactose, and sucrose—along with iron salts that allow for the detection of acid and gas production, as well as hydrogen sulphide (H2S) production. The characteristic colour changes and the formation of black precipitates help differentiate between various enteric pathogens based on their metabolic activities.
