Viable but Nonculturable Bacteria

The expression “viable but nonculturable” (VNC) bacteria, describes cells that cannot normally be cultured; however, a better explanation of the status of these bacteria would be “not immediately culturable”.

Overview of Chromogenic Media

Selective media enable faster results and visual confirmation for the detection, identification, and enumeration of microorganisms

Media for Staphylococcus Aureus Detection

Chromogenic media enable the selective detection of S. aureus, which produce bluish-green colonies that are clearly differentiated from other species.
