SS agar plate - results of kitchen sink drain and kitchen dish cloth (plate below) Salmonella-Shigella (SS) agar: Salmonella-Shigella agar (SS agar) is a selective and differential medium utilized for the selection and characterization pathogenic enteric bacteria. SS agar contains lactose, bile salts, ferric citrate, and neutral red. Kitchen The bile salts select for Gram-negative bacteria, while inhibiting Gram-positive bacteria. sink drain The other components differentiate among Gram-negative bacteria. Coliform bacteria such as E. coli will ferment the lactose in the media, resulting in bacterial growth with a pink color. (They do not produce any hydrogen sulfide.) Members of the genus Salmonella will not ferment lactose, but do product hydrogen sulfide…arrow_forward
