Kligler Iron Agar Slant is supplied by TM Media. This test is suggested for distinguishing between different types of gram-negative enteric bacteria by observing their ability to ferment dextrose and lactose, as well as their production of hydrogen sulfide. Kligler Iron Agar is a medium that distinguishes between lactose fermenters and non-fermenters. It can also differentiate between Salmonella Typhi and other Salmonellae. hen dextrose is fermented, only a small amount of acid is produced, which is insufficient to turn the pH indicator from red to yellow. Consequently, the indicator remains red due to reoxidation on the surface of the medium. However, when lactose is fermented, a large amount of acid is produced, which prevents reoxidation and results in the entire medium turning yellow. The Kligler Iron Agar contains lactose and glucose, as well as peptone, HM peptone B, and yeast extract, which enables the differentiation of various enteric bacilli. The pH indicator used is phenol red, which changes colour in response to acid produced during sugar fermentation.
