Product Description

The simple, easy and accurate one tube system for screening of stool specimens for Salmonella and Shigella species. EnteroScreen 4™ is specifically designed to rule out normal enteric flora and to aid in the detection and the differentiation of Salmonella and Shigella species. Three media, Modified Lysine Iron Agar, Lysine Iron Agar (LIA), and Urea Agar, are used to screen non-lactose fermentors isolated from stool specimens. This battery of tests is helpful in differentiating Salmonella and Shigella from other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Hardy Diagnostics EnteroScreen 4™ contains a unique media combination, which has been demonstrated to be less redundant and less labor intensive; yet equivalent in performance to the traditional three tube set.
