Selectively detect Escherichia coli from food and environmental samples with this selective medium.
Selectively detect Escherichia coli from food and environmental samples with InMicro® Dehydrated: EC Broth with MUG. EC Broth is a selective medium for the differentiation of fecal coliforms and the confirmatory test for Escherichia coli from food and environmental samples. It is also suitable for the enumeration of presumptive E. coli in milk and milk products using the most probable number technique. The MUG (4-methylumbelliferyl-ß-D-glucuronide) is cleaved by the enzyme glucuronidase (GUD) produced by Escherichia coli resulting in a fluorescent end-product.
Escherichia coli is a common Gram-negative microorganism which may be present in food and water samples. The presence of E.coli cells may be indicative of fecal contamination, although their ingestion does not necessarily have adverse effects on health. Nevertheless, certain strains are responsible for diarrhoeal disease and can also lead to more serious forms of illness.
EC Broth has shown to be a reliable medium producing dependable results in 24 to 48 hours.
Manufactured at a cGMP-compliant facility under the ISO 13485 standard, ensuring high-quality manufacturing standards, consistency, and reliability for both research and industrial settings.
