Description
Rambach agar is a chromogenic inhibitory nutrient medium on which enterobacteria grow. Its main use, however, is the differentiation of Salmonella spp from other enterobacteria, which are clearly differentiated because they are the only colonies that have a red color. This is achieved through a new method applied to this material. Specifically, salmonella breaks down propylene glycol, immediately the pH of the material becomes acidic and with the help of an indicator, the colonies acquire the characteristic red color. In order to differentiate the other enterobacteria from each other, the material contains the chromogenic mix which, by the breakdown of β-galactosidase, changes the pH of the material and the colonies acquire various characteristic colors. Finally, gram(+) cocci do not grow, due to the presence of sodium desoxycholate. Streak the sample onto the plate with successive dilutions. Incubate the plate at 35 – 37 °C for 24 – 48 hours under aerobic conditions. The morphology and color of the colonies are shown in the table.
