Description |
This medium is a modification of the Violet Red Bile Agar (Ref.1-164) and the MacConkey Agar (Ref.1-118) as described by Mossel et al. These authors proved that the addition of glucose to the Violet Red Bile Agar favoured both the growth of the most fastidious enterobacteria and the recovery of those having suffered from adverse conditions. Later on, Mossel himself realized that by removing the lactose and keeping the glucose, the medium’s efficiency remained stable. Furthermore, an economic improvement occurred since the same amount of product allows the reconstitution of more litres of the medium. This medium can be used as presumptive medium for E.coli (by fluorescent reaction) if before sterilization MUG (Ref. 06-102CASE) is added. |
