Application

Medium for demonstrating oxidative and fermentative catabolism of carbohydrate acc. to Hugh and Leifson (1953). In particular for the differentiation and classification of gram-negative intestinal bacteria.

Preparation Note

Dissolve 9.88 g in 1 litre distilled water. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Let cool to approx. 50°C and add 100 ml of sterile filtered 10% D(+)-glucose (Cat. No. 49140), lactose (Cat. No. 61340), sucrose (Cat. No. 84100) or other carbohydrate.

When conventional techniques were applied to 84 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from milk samples, it was found that they were all catalase and phosphatase positive and oxidase negative. They all fermented glucose within 24 h and mannitol within 24-48 h

Vibrio Detection

Vibrios are motile, curved or comma-shaped bacilli and have a single polar flagella with sheet proteins. They are often found in open water, freshwater and saltwater.

On the Trail of Campylobacter

On the Trail of Campylobacter - The Campylobacter is one of the leading causes of human gastroenteritis. Common Campylobacter species C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari are responsible for most cases of campylobacteriosis. However, other species, like C. fetus, which causes spontaneous abortions, have also been associated with human illness. Campylobacter are Gram-negative, spiral-shaped, microaerophilic and motile bacteria with uni- or bi-polar fl agella

Campylobacter Detection: Rapid Testing Solutions for the Detection of Campylobacter

Campylobacter spp. are regarded as the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans worldwide.

Differentiation and Identification Media for Salmonella

Salmonella contamination is the second leading cause of food-borne illness worldwide. Controlling outbreaks of Salmonella is an important task for food regulators, restaurants and the food industry in general. The Salmonella family includes over 2,300 serotypes of bacteria, but two types, Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium, are responsible for about half of all human infections. Most outbreaks of Salmonella are traced back to dairy, poultry and meat products, but Salmonella can grow on nearly any food. Chicken, eggs and their derivative products are particularly high risk.
