TRIPLE SUGAR IRON AGAR (as per BIS)

Triple Sugar Iron Agar was originally proposed by Sulkin and Willett and modified by Hajna for identifying Enterobacteriaceae. This medium is a modification of the Kligler Agar where sucrose was added to differentiate Proteus and Hafnia (sucrose positive) from Salmonella and Shigella (sucrose negative). It complies with the specifications given by IS: 5887(Part I, III and V)

for con?rmation of gram negative enteric bacilli on basis of dextrose, lactose and sucrose fermentation and H2S production.
