Usages:
For isolating lactose-fermenting Gram-negative enteric bacilli.
Principle:
Peptones are sources of nitrogen and other nutrients. Lactose is a fermentable carbohydrate. When lactose is fermented, alocal pH drop around the colony causes a color change in the pH indicator (neutral red) and bile precipitation. Bile salts,bile salts no. 3, oxgall and crystal violet are selective agents that inhibit the growth of gram-positive organisms. Agar is the solidifying agent.
