Xylose lysine deoxycholate agar for the isolation of Salmonella and Shigella from clinical specimens. 1977

J Zajc-Satler, and A Z Gragas

Xylose lysine deoxycholate (XLD) agar was more efficient for the detection of Shigella sonnei than Salmonella-Shigella (SS) agar and Drigalski agar, XLD was slightly more efficient for the detection of Salmonellae by direct plating than SS agar. Xylose lysine deoxycholate agar is proposed as the second selective plating medium for Shigellae isolation. It is also a useful second selecting plating medium for the isolation of Salmonellae serotypes, which form non-characteristic colonies on Bismuth-Sulfite agar. Efficiency comparisons between 4 direct plating media and one enrichment medium were made during the period of 3 years by analysing 21793 fresh clinical stool specimens. In that time 1394 Salmonella and 519 Shigella strains were isolated.

D008239 Lysine An essential amino acid. It is often added to animal feed. Enisyl,L-Lysine,Lysine Acetate,Lysine Hydrochloride,Acetate, Lysine,L Lysine
D003840 Deoxycholic Acid A bile acid formed by bacterial action from cholate. It is usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. Deoxycholic acid acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for intestinal absorption, is reabsorbed itself, and is used as a choleretic and detergent.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000362 Agar A complex sulfated polymer of galactose units, extracted from Gelidium cartilagineum, Gracilaria confervoides, and related red algae. It is used as a gel in the preparation of solid culture media for microorganisms, as a bulk laxative, in making emulsions, and as a supporting medium for immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis.
D012475 Salmonella A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.
D012760 Shigella A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that ferments sugar without gas production. Its organisms are intestinal pathogens of man and other primates and cause bacillary dysentery (DYSENTERY, BACILLARY).
D014994 Xylose D-Xylose,D Xylose
