Methods: Three carbapenems; meropenem, imipenem and ertapenem, with two different concentrations (0.5 mg/ml and 1.0 mg/ml), were impregnated in Mac- Conkey agar. The carbapenem impregnated MacConkey agar plates; ([Mac-Mem], [Mac-Imp] and [Mac-Ert]), were then evaluated for the detection of carbapenem resistant Gram-negative bacteria in particular the blaKPC producing Enterobacteria- ceae. The Limit of Detection (LOD) of the plates was determined in triplicate after serial logarithmic dilution of the bacterial strains in saline. This was followed by inoculating the plates and counting the colonies that grew after 24 hours of incu- bation. The specificity and the shelf-life of the plates were determined by testing the plates with six Extended Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing members of the Enterobacteriaceae family and one genus with the blaAmpC phenotype.

  • Bile Esculin Agar
    BILE ESCULIN AGAR INTENDED USE Remel Bile Esculin Agar is a solid medium recommended for use in qualitative procedures for the presumptive identification of group D streptococci and enterococci. SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION Rochaix first demonstrated the value of esculin hydrolysis for identification of enterococci.1 Meyer et al. found that 61 of 62 strains of enterococci hydrolyzed esculin in a medium containing bile.2 Swan determined that positive results obtained on esculin agar containing 40% bile correlated well with serologically confirmed group D streptococci.3 Using Swan’s formula, Facklam and Moody tested over 700 strains of streptococci and enterococci representing all known serological groups and found all strains to be bile-resistant and esculin-positive. PRINCIPLE Group D streptococci and enterococci hydrolyze esculin in the presence of bile to form esculetin and dextrose. Esculetin reacts with ferric ions supplied by ferric ammonium citrate to form brown-black colonies on Bile Esculin Agar. Oxgall in a concentration of 4% (equivalent to 40% bile) inhibits most strains of streptococci and enterococci other than group D.

  • Macconkey Agar, CS, Product Information
    MacCONKEY AGAR, CS (7391) Intended Use MacConkey Agar, CS is used for the isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative enteric bacilli from specimens containing swarming strains of Proteus spp. in a laboratory setting. MacConkey Agar, CS is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans Product Summary and Explanation MacConkey Agar is based on the bile salt-neutral red-lactose agar of MacConkey.1 The original MacConkey medium was used to differentiate strains of Salmonella typhosa from members of the coliform group. Formula modifications improved growth of Shigella and Salmonella strains. These modifications include the addition of 0.5% sodium chloride, decreased agar content, altered bile salts, and neutral red concentrations. The formula modifications improved differential reactions between enteric pathogens and coliforms. MacConkey Agar, CS (“Controlled Swarming”) contains carefully selected raw materials to reduce swarming of Proteus spp., which could cause difficulty in isolating and enumerating other Gram-negative bacilli. Principles of the Procedure Enzymatic Digest of Gelatin, Enzymatic Digest of Casein, and Enzymatic Digest of Animal Tissue are the nitrogen and vitamin sources in MacConkey Agar, CS. Lactose is the fermentable carbohydrate. During Lactose fermentation a local pH drop around the colony causes a color change in the pH indicator, Neutral Red, and bile precipitation. Bile Salts and Crystal Violet are the selective agents, inhibiting Gram-positive cocci and allowing Gram-negative organisms to grow. Sodium Chloride maintains the osmotic environment. Agar is the solidifying agent.

  • Bile Esculin Agar Intended Use Bile Esculin Agar Is A
    Bile Esculin Agar Intended Use Bile Esculin Agar is a differential medium used for isolation and presumptive identification of group D Streptococci / Enterococci from food samples. Summary Swan formulated Bile Esculin Agar for the isolation and identification of group D Streptococci from foods. Originally, Bile Esculin Test was used for the identification of Enterococci. However, since group D Streptococci share the test with Enterococci, it is advisable that other tests such as salt tolerance be performed while identifying Enterococci. Meyer and Schonfeld showed that majority of Enterococci were able to grow in esculin and split it, while other Streptococci could not. This medium is used to differentiate Enterococci and Streptococcus bovis from other Streptococci. Principle Oxgall inhibits gram-positive bacteria other than group D Streptococci / Enterococci. Ferric citrate is an indicator of esculin hydrolysis and resulting esculetin formation. Enterococci / group D Streptococci hydrolyze the glycoside esculin to esculetin and dextrose. Esculetin reacts with ferric citrate producing brownish black complex. This medium is also shown to aid differentiation of genus Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia from other Enterobacteriaceae on the basis of esculin hydrolysis. Formula* Ingredients g/L Pancreatic Digest of Gelatin 5.0 Beef Extract 3.0 Oxgall 40.0 Ferric Citrate 0.5 Esculin 1.0 Agar 15.0 Final pH (at 25°C) 6.6 ± 0.2 *Adjusted to suit performance parameters Storage and Stability Store dehydrated medium below 30°C in tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 2ºC-8°C.

  • Macconkey Agar Base
    MACCONKEY AGAR BASE INTENDED USE Remel MacConkey Agar Base is a solid medium recommended for use in qualitative procedures for ithe cultivation of gram-negative bacilli. SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION In 1900, MacConkey first described a neutral red bile salt medium for cultivation and identification of enteric organisms.1 A detailed description of the selective and differential properties of the medium was published in 1905.2 Over the years, MacConkey’s original formula has been modified; the agar content has been reduced, the concentration of bile salts and neutral red has been adjusted, and sodium chloride has been added.3 MacConkey Agar Base is used with added carbohydrate to differentiate enteric gram-negative bacilli based on fermentation reactions. PRINCIPLE Peptones provide nitrogenous nutrients and amino acids necessary for bacterial growth. Sodium chloride supplies essential electrolytes and maintains osmotic equilibrium. Crystal violet and bile salts are selective agents which inhibit most gram-positive organisms. MacConkey Agar Base is used with added carbohydrate to differentiate enteric gram-negative bacilli based on fermentation reactions. When the carbohydrate is fermented, a local pH drop around the colony causes bile preciptitation in the agar around the colony. Neutral red is an indicator which turns colonies pink when the carbohydrate is fermented. Agar is a solidifying agent.

CTA medium without carbohydrates is suitable for maintenance of organisms, and for detection of motility. HISTORY/SUMMARY: CTA medium has been accepted for the determination of carbohydrate utilization for a number of fastidious organisms, particularly Neisseria species and anaerobes. It has also been reported useful in fermentation studies of yeast. As a maintenance medium without carbohydrates, it supports the growth of organisms such as Neisseria, Pasteurella, Streptococci, Brucella, Corynebacteria and others. Motility can be detected in the semisolid medium when inoculated by stab line. PRINCIPLES: The base medium is free of carbohydrates and meat extracts. It contains Cystine and Casein Peptone as nutrients for the growth of fastidious organisms. Phenol red is added as an indicator of fermentation reactions. Carbohydrates are usually incorporated in the medium in 1% final concentrations. If a microorganism is inoculated in the medium containing a carbohydrate, and is capable of fermenting it, the medium indicator will turn from orange red to yellow.

  • Bile Esculin Azide Agar (ISO 7899-2:2000) (Dehydrated Culture Media) for Microbiology
    PRODUCT CODE: 415523 Bile Esculin Azide Agar (ISO 7899-2:2000) (Dehydrated Culture Media) for microbiology Preparation Suspend 56.6 grams of the medium in one litre of distilled water. Mix well and dissolve by heating with frequent agitation. Boil for one minute until complete dissolution. Dispense into appropriate containers and sterilize in autoclave at 121ºC for 15 minutes. Overheating can cause darkening of the medium. If tubes are used, allow cooling in a slanted position. The prepared medium should be stored at 8-15°C. The colour is tournasol. The dehydrated medium should be homogeneous, free-flowing and toasted in colour. If there are any physical changes, discard the medium. Caution: This medium is toxic if swallowed, inhaled or comes into contact with skin. Wear gloves and eye/face protection. Uses BILE ESCULIN AZIDE AGAR is a modification of Bile Esculin Agar with the addition of sodium azide as an inhibitor and with the reduction of the bile concentration. The resulting medium is more selective but still provides rapid growth and efficient recovery of enterococci. The ability to hydrolyse esculin in the presence of bile is a characteristic of enterococci. Organisms positive for esculin hydrolysis hydrolyse the glycoside esculin to esculetin and dextrose. The esculetin reacts with the Ferric citrate to form a dark brown or black colony. Ox bile does not inhibit enterococci while other Gram-positive bacteria are inhibited. Sodium azide inhibits Gram negative bacteria. Tryptone, Peptone and Yeast extract supply the nutrients essential for growth. Sodium chloride provides the osmotic balance. Bacteriological agar is the solidifying agent.
