Additional Information for Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate Agar Culture Medium
Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate Agar (XLD Agar) is a culture medium used in microbiology for the isolation and differentiation of enteric pathogens, particularly Salmonella and Shigella species. It falls under the supply class of In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits, and Sets, which are substances or materials used in laboratory testing for diagnostic purposes.
XLD Agar contains several components that aid in the growth and identification of enteric pathogens. Xylose is the fermentable carbohydrate source, while lysine and deoxycholate are selective agents that inhibit the growth of non-enteric bacteria. The agar also contains indicators such as phenol red and ferric ammonium citrate, which help in the differentiation of different bacterial species based on their ability to ferment xylose and produce hydrogen sulfide.
This culture medium is commonly used in clinical laboratories, veterinary clinics, and research facilities for the detection and identification of enteric pathogens in various samples, such as stool, food, and water. It is an essential tool in diagnosing gastrointestinal infections caused by Salmonella and Shigella species.
In summary, Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate Agar Culture Medium is a specialized medium used for the isolation and identification of enteric pathogens, particularly Salmonella and Shigella species. It is classified under the supply class of In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits, and Sets, which are essential components in the field of medical, dental, and veterinary diagnostics.
