SIM (Sulfide, Indole, Motility) Broth

Description

SIM Medium is used to differentiate enteric bacilli on the basis of sulfide production, indole formation and motility.

Hydrogen sulfide production, indole formation and motility are distinguishing characteristics which aid in the identification of the Enterobacteriaceae, especially Salmonella and Shigella. SIM Medium, therefore, is useful in the process of identification of enteric pathogens.
