 Report) 



A study of 552 salmonella cultures revealed that 86 (15.6 percent) of the cultures fermented lactose. These 

 had been isolated from dried milk products and milk drying plants. Acid and gas were produced in lactose broth. 

 Solid media containing lactose as the key ingredient for the differential reaction were not satisfactory for 

 recognizing salmonella colonies. No problem was encountered in selecting salmonella colonies when bismuth sulfite 

 agar was used.
