Description
Oxoid™ Yersinia Selective Agar is a specialized medium designed for the selective isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica and related species from clinical, food, and environmental samples. Its carefully balanced formulation promotes the growth of Yersinia while suppressing competing flora, ensuring accurate detection and identification.
Key Features:
-
Highly Selective: Formulated with cefsulodin, irgasan, and novobiocin (CIN) to effectively inhibit non-target organisms.
-
Distinctive Colony Morphology: Yersinia enterocolitica colonies typically appear as small, deep red centers with transparent margins (“bull’s-eye” appearance) for easy visual identification.
-
Reliable and Consistent: Trusted Oxoid™ quality for reproducible results in both clinical and food microbiology applications.
-
Ready-to-Use Format: Pre-poured 90 mm monoplates ensure convenience, consistency, and reduced preparation time.
-
Proven Performance: Ideal for use in accordance with standard methods for Yersinia detection.
Applications:
-
Isolation and identification of Yersinia enterocolitica from food, water, and clinical samples.
-
Suitable for food safety testing, public health monitoring, and diagnostic laboratories.
