Brand:  Thermo Scientific™ PO5133A

Product Code. 13215369

Description

Enumerate Bacillus cereus in food samples with a selective and differential medium with diagnostic features that rely upon the failure of Bacillus cereus to utilize mannitol and the ability of most strains to produce phospholipase C, resulting in an opaque halo around the colonies. Thermo Scientific™ MYP Selective Agar includes Polymyxin B which inhibits gram-negative bacteria.

Bacillus cereus has been recognized as a causative agent of food poisoning since the 1950s. Many early isolation techniques used blood agar, relying on haemolysis and colony morphology, followed by a range of tests for confirmation. MYP Agar has proven to be very effective for detecting B. cereus even with very low numbers. The formulation conforms the ISO 7932.
