General description

The MacConkey Broth contains bile salts that inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria but support the growth of most gram-negative bacteria. Degradation of lactose to acids by bacteria induce a color change in the medium from violet to yellow as indicated by the pH indicator bromocresol purple, which shows reduced inhibition compared to neutral red.

Application

MacConkey Broth is used for the enrichment of Enterobacteriaceae and the detection of Escherichia coli in pharmaceutical products.
