Biokar Desoxycholate (0.1%) lactose Agar 500 grams BK062HA

Biokar Desoxycholate (0.1%) lactose Agar is a selective differential medium used for the isolation and identification of Gram-negative enteric pathogens such as Salmonella and Shigella species. It inhibits the growth of Gram-positive organisms and differentiates between lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria.

Benefits/Advantages:

• Selective: The desoxycholate content inhibits the growth of Gram-positive organisms, providing selective isolation of Gram-negative bacteria.

• Differential: The lactose fermentation reaction differentiates between lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting bacteria, aiding in the identification of pathogenic strains.

• Easy to use: The dehydrated form allows for convenient preparation as needed, ensuring convenience and ease of use in the laboratory.

• Multiple applications: Suitable for clinical, food, and environmental microbiology, facilitating the detection of enteric pathogens in various sample types.
