Application: | For the isolation of Salmonella, Shigella and coliform bacteria, in particular E. coli, from diverse material. Bile salts and crystal violet extensively inhibit the Gram-positive flora. The presence of lactose and neutral red indicate lactose-positive colonies from which E. coli can be identified by fluorescence in the UV. |
