Thermo Scientific™ Modified Semi-solid Rappaport Vassiliadis Agar (ISO) (Dehydrated)
Description
Selectively enrich Salmonella spp. from food, animal feces, and environmental samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Modified Semi-solid Rappaport Vassiliadis (MRSV) Agar (ISO) (Dehydrated). The efficacy of the medium is based upon the ability of salmonellae to migrate through the selective medium ahead of competing Gram-negative, motile organisms and, thus, produce opaque halos of growth.
- Simple and sensitive method for the isolation of salmonellae from food and environmental samples.
- Incorporated into ISO 6579:2002+A1:2007 Annex D1, for the isolation of salmonellae from animal feces (such as poultry, pigs, and cattle).
- Gram-positive flora is inhibited by novobiocin, low pH, high magnesium chloride concentration, and malachite green.
- Isolation is based on the ability of salmonellae to migrate through the selective medium ahead of competing Gram-negative, motile organisms, thus producing opaque halos of growth.
- Presumptive identification is achieved by subculture onto XLD Agar and a second Salmonella agar of choice.
