INTRODUCTION:Triple sugar iron agar (TSI) is a differential medium that contains lactose, sucrose, a small amount of glucose (dextrose), ferrous sulfate, and the pH indicator phenol red. It is used to differentiate enterics based on the ability to reduce
sulfur and ferment carbohydrates.

THE TEST:As with the phenol red fermentation broths, if an organism can ferment any of the three sugars present in the medium, the medium will turn yellow. If an organism can only ferment dextrose, the small amount of dextrose in the medium is used by the organism within the first ten hours of
incubation..

After that time, the reaction that produced acid reverts in the aerobic areas of the slant, and the medium in those areas turns red, indicating alkaline conditions. The anaerobic areas of the slant, such as the butt, will not revert to an alkaline state, and they will remain yellow. This happens with Salmonella and Shigella.

NOTE:SIM medium should be read after an incubation of only 24 hours because a longer incubation time can cause a false negative. Vigorous fermenters such as Escherichia coli and Entrobacter cloacae will ferment all the available sugars and then begin using the amino acids. This will produce amine groups and cause the medium to turn alkaline.

If an organism can reduce sulfur, the hydrogen sulfide gas which is produced will react with the iron to form iron sulfide, which appears as a black precipitate. If the precipitate is formed, it can mask any acid/alkaline results. Sulfur reduction requires an acidic environment, so if the black precipitate is present, some fermentation took
place.

If the butt of the slant is obscured by the precipitate, look at the top of the slant to determine if the organism could ferment only dextrose (red), or if it could ferment either lactose and/or sucrose (yellow).If the fermentation produced gas, you may see fissures in the medium, or the entire slant may be raised above the
bottom of the test tube.

Enterobacter cloacae exhibits fermenation of glucose and gas production but no sulfur reduction
This would be read K/A,G. Staphylococcus aureus exhibits acidic fermentation .
This would be read A/A. Salmonella typhimurium ferments glucose and reduces sulfur. This would be read K/A, H2S. Micrococcus luteus uses the amino acids and does not grow in the butt of the slant. This
would be read K/NC.

Bacillus megaterium fermented sugars but did not grow in the anaerobic environment of the butt. This would be read A/NC. Enterobacter
aerogenes fermented the sugars but turned to the amino acids. This would be read K/A.
