Product Description
MacConkey Broth Purple with BCP is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative bacteria. This medium contains bile salts and crystal violet, which inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, while the inclusion of bromocresol purple (BCP) as a pH indicator helps distinguish between lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting organisms.
This medium is widely used in clinical and research laboratories for identifying enteric pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella. The purple coloration of the broth makes it easy to observe pH changes, ensuring accurate results in bacterial culture studies.
