MacConkey agar: Selective for Gram-negative bacteria, inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Hektoen enteric agar: Selective for Gram-negative enteric pathogens, such as Salmonella and Shigella species. Thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose (TCBS) agar: Selective for Vibrio species, especially Vibrio cholerae. Cefsulodin-irgasan-novobiocin (CIN) agar: Selective for Yersinia species.
Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, and Serratia are all gram-negative facultatively anaerobic rods.

Salmonella, Shigella Organisms that ferment lactose display "nucleated colonies" - colonies with dark centers.
Some examples of bacteria that are non-lactose fermenters include Salmonella, Shigella, Proteus, and Pseudomonas. These bacteria do not metabolize lactose as a source of energy and do not produce acid and gas as byproducts of lactose fermentation.
Search "salmonella culture" then select Images.
The biochemical test commonly used to identify Salmonella typhi is the Widal test. This test detects antibodies produced in response to a Salmonella typhi infection by measuring agglutination (clumping) reactions between the bacteria and specific antibodies in the patient's serum. Other tests like blood culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can also be used for confirmation.
Salmonella appears as colorless to slightly transparent colonies on agar plates like MacConkey agar or XLD agar. These colonies often have a pink or red center surrounded by a white or transparent outer edge. Additional biochemical tests are typically needed to confirm the presence of Salmonella species.
