This medium is used to detect or confirm the presence of members of the coli-aerogenes group; the brilliant green content suppresses anaerobic lactose fermenters, such as Clostridium perfringens, and the medium is recommended for the 44°C confirmatory test for Escherichia coli. The brilliant green dye used in the medium has been shown to be critical and Chroma or BDH brands should be used. It is essential that the dye is added as directed because heating the brilliant green or attempting to incorporate it in the basal medium seriously impairs its selective action. Proteus, Citrobacter and Pseudomonas species may mimic enteric pathogens by producing small red colonies.

In this way, he adds, it may be better to think of a single plant as a colony, rather than an individual. Just as the death of one ant doesn’t mean the demise of the colony, so the destruction of one leaf or one root means the plant still carries on. The wide gulf Sub-culture the broth after 18-24 hours and again after 48 hours. Take one loopful of broth from the edge of the surface of the fluid and inoculate either two Oxoid Brilliant Green Agar (Modified) CM0329 plates (9cm diameter) without recharging the loop between plates, or one large plate (14cm diameter).Suspend 49.0g in 1 litre of distilled water. Mix and bring gently to the boil with frequent agitation to dissolve the medium completely. Cool to 50°C and pour approximately 20ml into sterile Petri dishes.

Brilliant Green Agar was first described as a selective isolation medium for Salmonella species by Kristensen et al. 1 Kauffmann 2 modified their formula to give a highly selective plating medium for the isolation and identification of salmonellae from faeces and other pathological material, and from food and dairy products. This medium was not designed for the isolation of Salmonella typhi or Shigella species and where these may be encountered, Brilliant Green Agar should be used in parallel with other selective plating media such as Desoxycholate Citrate Agar (Hynes) CM0227, Hektoen Enteric Agar CM0419, X.L.D. Agar CM0469. Bismuth Sulphite Agar (Modified) CM0201 is specifically recommended for Salmonella typhi. Look for colonies with salmonella characteristics and confirm their identity with biochemical and serological tests. This medium also contains brilliant green, which inhibits the growth of the majority of Gram-negative and Gram-positive, bacteria.The medium is not suitable for the growth of Salmonella typhi, Salmonella sendai, Salmonella pullorum and Salmonella gallinarum.

The medium may be inoculated directly with the specimen or from an enrichment culture. Selectivity is relatively weak and its performance may be adversely effected by heavily contaminated specimens. Because of these limitations MLCB Agar should not be used alone. Combination of peptone, tryptone and yeast extract makes the medium highly nutritious and supplies amino acids and long chains of peptides.
