Selectively and differentially isolate enteric gram-negative bacilli using InMicro® Prepared: MacConkey Broth.
Selectively and differentially isolate enteric gram-negative bacilli using InMicro® Prepared: MacConkey Broth. MacConkey Broth is a modification of the original bile salt broth first described by MacConkey in 1900, which contained litmus as an indicator and sodium taurocholate to inhibit gram-positive organisms. In further testing, MacConkey recommended replacing litmus with neutral red. In 1953, Childs and Allen replaced neutral red with bromcresol purple, a less inhibitory indicator.
Selectively and differentially isolate enteric gram-negative bacilli using MacConkey Broth. This medium is used for the presumptive identification of coliforms. Coliforms are organisms that are present in the environment and in the feces of all warm-blooded animals and humans.
Their presence in drinking water indicates that disease-causing organisms (pathogens) could be in the water system.
This medium contains gelatin peptone that provides amino acids and essential nutrients for bacterial growth. Lactose is a carbon source for energy. Oxgall is a selective agent which inhibits gram-positive organisms. Lactose and bromcresol purple indicator enable the differentiation of lactose fermenting gram-negative bacilli.
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.
