Quantity/Pack Size – 100 plates
Form – Solid
Grade – Laboratory Grade
Application – Identification of enteric pathogens
Product Overview
Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar Plate is a specialized medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of enteric pathogens, particularly members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. This agar plate is formulated with specific ingredients that inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and yeast, making it ideal for the isolation of Gram-negative bacteria. The medium contains bile salts, which are inhibitory to many Gram-positive bacteria, and glucose, which is fermented by enteric bacteria, producing acid that changes the color of the pH indicator in the medium. This results in the formation of red colonies with a dark center, characteristic of enteric pathogens. The Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar Plate is a reliable and efficient tool for laboratory use, providing clear and accurate results for the identification of enteric bacteria.
FAQs
1. What is the primary application of Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar Plate?
Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar Plate is primarily used for the selective isolation and differentiation of enteric pathogens, particularly members of the Enterobacteriaceae family.
2. What type of bacteria does this agar plate inhibit?
This agar plate inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and yeast, making it ideal for the isolation of Gram-negative bacteria.
3. What are the key ingredients in Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar Plate?
The key ingredients include bile salts, glucose, and a pH indicator. The bile salts inhibit Gram-positive bacteria, while glucose is fermented by enteric bacteria, producing acid that changes the color of the pH indicator.
4. How does the agar plate help in identifying enteric pathogens?
The agar plate helps in identifying enteric pathogens by producing red colonies with a dark center, which is characteristic of enteric bacteria. This is due to the fermentation of glucose, which produces acid and changes the color of the pH indicator.
5. Is this agar plate suitable for laboratory use?
Yes, Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar Plate is suitable for laboratory use and provides reliable and efficient results for the identification of enteric bacteria.
