Abstract
SUMMARYA modified Shigella—Salmonella medium in semi-solid agar was shown to inhibit the spread of most faecal organisms through a Craigie tube, while selectively allowing the passage ofSalmonella.A medium for routine use is described.Over a period of 3 years, in this laboratory, 90% of specimens from which salmonellas were isolated gave positive results with this medium. Over 40% of these specimens would have been reported as negative if the method had not been in use. However, 10% would have been missed if this method alone had been used. It should therefore be used in conjunction with other culture methods, of which direct plating on SS agar was the most successful in this series.
