Xylose lysine deoxycholate (xld)

Manufactured by Hardy Diagnostics
Sourced in United States, India

XLD is a selective and differential culture medium used for the isolation and identification of Salmonella and Shigella species. It contains lactose, sucrose, and xylose as carbohydrate sources, along with a pH indicator that detects acid production. Colonies of Salmonella and Shigella appear red with black centers due to hydrogen sulfide production.

Salmonella Typhimurium Growth and Identification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (ATCC 14028) (ST) was used for this study. Luria-Bertani (LB) (Becton, Dickinson and Co., Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) agar and broth were used as the medium on which ST was grown, and it was incubated at 37 °C under aerobic conditions (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). XLD (Hardy diagnostics, Santa Maria, CA, USA) and SS (Becton, Dickinson and Co., Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) agar were used as differential media that allowed for the identification and differentiation of ST from other gram-negative coliforms.

Isolation of Enteric Bacterial Pathogens

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A loopful of stool sample was inoculated into alkaline peptone water; pH 8.2 and incubated for 8 hours at 37 o C. Subculture was done on TCBS (Central drug house ltd, India), XLD (Hardy diagnostics, USA) and Mackonkey (Oxoid, UK) and further incubated at 37 o C for 24 hours. Direct culture was carried out on TCBS, XLD, Campylobacter blood free agar (Oxoid, UK), and enrichment in Selenite F medium (Himedia laboratories PVT ltd India) to isolate the bacterial pathogens. Rectal swabs were processed in the same manner.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
