Tellurite Supplement Cefixime Condalab 6064

PART NO: CL-6064
Price: £164.21

Sterile selective supplement used for isolation of E.coli O157 which is the cause of haemorrhagic colitis and other hyman illnesses that can cause bloody diarrhoea and severe abdominal pain.

The selectivity is due to the high level of potassium tellurite who separes serogroup O157 from other E. coli serogroups and inhibits Providencia and Aeromonas spp. Cefixime is inhibitory to Proteus spp. Instead od the majority E. coli strains, this microorganism does not ferment sorbitol producing colourless colonies (brownish-yellow) in A. MaConkey Sorbitol.
