CULTURE MEDIUM FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY DETECTING ESCHERICHIA COLI O26 AND O157, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop a new culture medium capable of simultaneously identifying Escherichia coli O26, O157, and ordinary Escherichia coli through solving the problem that conventional culture media and techniques, Escherichia coli O26, O157, and ordinary Escherichia coli to be examined cannot be identified simultaneously, and the examinations have been needed to conduct using individual culture media respectively.;SOLUTION: The new culture medium includes nutrients, a discriminatory agent, a selective agent, and a solid ingredient; wherein the discriminatory agent includes rhamnose, such an enzymatic substrate that Escherichia coli O157 is non-color-developable, and a pH indicator.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
