Product Overview
Endo Agar is a specialized medium designed for the isolation and differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae from other gram-negative bacteria. It is formulated to support the growth of Enterobacteriaceae while inhibiting the growth of gram-positive bacteria and other gram-negative bacteria. The agar contains lactose and sucrose as fermentable carbohydrates, which allow for the differentiation of lactose-fermenting and non-fermenting Enterobacteriaceae. The medium also includes indicators that change color in response to the pH changes caused by carbohydrate fermentation, providing a clear visual distinction between different types of bacteria.
