What is the best medium to use to find out if salmonella is present in my food sample.?
I have small circular white colonies in my culture but I want to find out if any salmonella is present in there. Can anyone please suggest any biochemical test or any specific medium to subculture on. Thanks for your help.

SSA (Salmonella Shigella Agar)
XLD (Xylose Lysine Sodium Deoxycholate Agar)
Hektoen Agar
Citrate test
H2S Positive
MR Positive VP Negative
Motile
These are a few that are common in labs that should help...
