Product Description
Mutans-Sanguis Agar is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of oral streptococci, particularly Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguis. This agar is widely used in dental microbiology research, caries studies, and oral health diagnostics due to its ability to support the growth of these specific bacterial groups while inhibiting others.
The medium contains sucrose, which promotes the production of extracellular polysaccharides by S. mutans, aiding in its identification. The addition of bacitracin and other selective agents ensures that only the target streptococci thrive, making it an essential tool for researchers studying dental plaque and oral infections.
Whether you’re a student, educator, or researcher, Mutans-Sanguis Agar from Himedia provides reliable results for your microbiology experiments. Its consistent performance and high-quality formulation make it a trusted choice in laboratories across India.
