The conventional media for the detection of Salmonella by H2S character has a very poor specificity creating an abundance of false positives (Citrobacter, Proteus, etc. as suspected colonies) among the rare real positive Salmonella. The workload for unecessary examination of suspect colonies is so high that the real positive Salmonella colonies might often be missed in routine testing.

In order to distinguish the real positive, the conventional method requires the tedious examination of 5 colonies per suspected sample.

On the other hand CHROMagar Salmonella and CHROMagar Salmonella Plus will eliminate most false positives and allow the technicians to focus all attention on rare suspected samples.

These samples could be further identified as real positive for Salmonella.

Because CHROMagar Salmonella and CHROMagar Salmonella Plus have a good specificity and a very high sensitivity.
