Product Overview
Litmus Lactose Bile Salt Agar (LLBSA) is a specialized culture medium designed for the isolation and differentiation of enteric bacteria. This agar is formulated with litmus, lactose, and bile salts, which create a selective and differential environment for bacterial growth. The litmus indicator changes color based on the pH, helping to distinguish between lactose-fermenting and non-fermenting bacteria. The bile salts inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, making LLBSA ideal for identifying Gram-negative enteric pathogens. This high-quality agar ensures reliable and accurate results, making it a valuable tool for microbiological research and diagnostic laboratories.
