Description

Description générale

Escherichia coli broth is suitable for the selective enrichment, enumeration, and confirmation of coliform bacteria. The lactose content of this medium favors the growth of lactose-positive bacteria, especially coliform bacteria, and E. coli. The bile salts inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria or microorganisms that are not adapted to the intestinal environment. Lactose-positive bacteria metabolize lactose with gas formation.

Application

Escherichia coli broth is suitable for the selective enrichment, enumeration, and confirmation of coliform bacteria from food and animal feed, and other materials.
