Product Description
MacConkey Sorbitol HiCynth Agar is a specialized medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of E. coli O157:H7, a pathogenic strain known for causing severe foodborne illnesses. This agar is widely used in clinical, research, and educational laboratories due to its reliability in detecting sorbitol-non-fermenting strains of E. coli.
The medium contains sorbitol instead of lactose, which helps distinguish E. coli O157:H7 from other bacteria. Sorbitol-fermenting bacteria produce pink colonies, while non-fermenters like E. coli O157:H7 appear colorless. This makes it an essential tool for microbiologists and researchers working on food safety, water testing, and infectious disease studies.
