Description

Detect the microbial deoxyribonuclease enzymes, particularly from staphylococci with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ DNASE Agar. A DNase (deoxyribonuclease) is any enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of phosphodiester linkages of DNA leading to its degradation.

The organisms producing DNase enzymes in sufficient quantities to hydrolyze DNA, will show clear zones around the colonies. The medium is mainly used in identification of staphylococci but may also be used for the detection of DNase activity in other organisms.

Use DNASE Agar for the diagnostic detection of deoxyribonuclease enzyme activity in staphylococci and other organisms.

  • Easily differentiates Staphylococcus aureus from Staphylococcus epidermidis and other Staphylococcus species due to the abundance of DNase production in Staphylococcus aureus. 1,2,3
  • Helps in the differentiation and identification of non-pigmented Serratia marcescens (positive reaction) from Klebsiella-Enterobacter (negative reaction) 4.
  • Ready-to-use convenience of prepared media.
