Selenite Broth is supplied by the company, HiMedia.

This is a broth named Selenite Broth. This is an enrichment medium for isolation and detection ofSalmonellaspecies from faeces, urine or other pathological materials for epidemiological studies. Components of this selenite broth such as casein enzymic hydrolysate provides nitrogenous substances and lactose is responsibe for maintaining the pH of medium. Selenite is reduced by bacterial growth leading to production of alkali. Sodium phosphate maintains a stable pH and also lessens the toxicity of selenite. Toxicity of the selenite is reduced as the pH is increased. The acid produced by bacteria due to lactose fermentation serves to maintain a neutral pH.
