Product Description
Pseudomonas Agar (M119) is a specialized microbiological medium designed to isolate and identify Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common pathogen in clinical and environmental samples. This agar contains specific nutrients that promote the growth of Pseudomonas while inhibiting other bacteria. The key feature of this medium is its ability to detect pyocyanin, a blue-green pigment produced by P. aeruginosa, which aids in visual identification.
Used widely in research labs, educational institutions, and diagnostic centers, Pseudomonas Agar is essential for studying bacterial infections, antibiotic resistance, and environmental microbiology. Its selective properties make it a reliable choice for accurate microbial analysis.
