Abstract:
We evaluated which chromogenic agar medium for Salmonella detection in stool would be most sensitive and specific in our culture protocol. The use of BBL CHROMagar Salmonella chromogenic medium combined with xylose-lysine-deoxycholate agar yielded a sensitivity of 100% and also reduced workload and costs.
