Product Description
Mueller Tellurite Agar Base is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and identification of Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the bacterium responsible for diphtheria. This agar base, when supplemented with tellurite, inhibits the growth of most other bacteria, allowing for clear differentiation of target organisms. It is widely used in clinical and research laboratories for diagnostic and educational purposes.
The medium contains peptones and beef extract, providing essential nutrients for bacterial growth, while the addition of tellurite acts as a selective agent. The resulting black colonies of C. diphtheriae are easily distinguishable, making this agar a reliable tool for microbiologists and students alike.
