Alkali Scientific Burkholderia cepacia Agar 20mL Plate, 10/Pk
Supplier: Alkali Scientific BCAP00
Burkholderia cepacia Agar (BCSA) is a highly selective and differential medium formulated for the isolation and detection of the Burkholderia cepacia complex from respiratory samples and pharmaceutical products. Each sterile plate contains 20 mL of nutrient agar supplemented with crystal violet and antimicrobial agents such as polymyxin B and vancomycin or gentamicin. These components inhibit gram positive bacteria and suppress competing organisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while permitting Burkholderia species to grow. The medium is widely used in clinical microbiology laboratories for screening sputum from cystic fibrosis patients where accurate identification of B. cepacia is critical. It is also applied in pharmaceutical microbiology for monitoring contamination in non sterile products, supporting reliable recovery and differentiation of target organisms in complex microbial environments.
