Application

Rapid Enterococci ChromoSelect Agar is used for rapid and easy identification and differentiation of Enterococci from water samples. It contains chromogenic substrate, which aids in the detection of Enterococci from water samples.

Preparation Note

Suspend 33.6 g in 1 litre distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 1 bar pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 50 °C and pour into sterile petri plates.

Other Notes

Medium for the assay of water for Enterococci

The rules of the European Economic Community to harmonize the hygienic quality of drinking water write out the faecal streptococci as indicator organisms. This operating definition of the faecal streptococci prohibits its taxonomic limitation to enterococci or group D streptococci.
