Descripción general

MacConkey Agar is used for the isolation, identification, and enumeration of lactose fermenting and lactose non-fermenting enteric bacteria.The media is accepted by the Standard Methods for the Examination of milk and dairy Products and pharmaceutical preparations. Peptone in the media provides nitrogenous and carbonaceous compounds, long-chain amino acids, vitamins, and other essential growth factors. Lactose is the fermentable sugar that causes acid production and a color change of the indicator when the pH of the medium falls below 6.8. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium. The selective action of this medium is attributed to crystal violet and bile salts, which are inhibitory to most species of gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria usually grow well on the medium and are differentiated by their ability to ferment lactose. Lactose fermenting strains form red or pink colonies and are surrounded by a zone of acid-precipitated bile. Lactose non-fermenting strains, such as Shigella and Salmonella, form colorless, transparent colonies and typically do not alter the appearance of the medium.

Aplicación

MacConkey Agar is a differential plating medium recommended for the detection and isolation of coliforms and intestinal pathogens from stool, urine, water, and other material.

Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas

MacConkey Agar is considered as a selective and differential media. It is useful in differentiating between the lactose fermenting and non-lactose fermenting bacteria. Thus, it is useful in the isolation of gram negative bacteria. Primary plating medium is used to differentiate members of the coliform group.
