Supplier: Anaerobe Systems AS8216

Cycloserine Cefoxitin Mannitol Broth with Taurocholate and Lysozyme (CCMB-TAL) is an enriched, selective, and differential broth media used for the isolation and presumptive identification of C. difficile. This media is prepared, dispensed, and packaged under oxygen-free conditions to prevent the formation of oxidized products prior to use.The nutritive base consists of animal peptones and mannitol. This media is supplemented with cefoxitin and cycloserine at concentrations that inhibit the growth of most normal fecal flora. Cycloserine inhibits gram-negative bacteria, while cefoxitin inhibits gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Neutral red is added as a pH indicator. The presence of C. difficile will turn the indicator from red/orange to yellow due to the organism utilizing the amino acids and causing an increase in the pH. Sodium Taurocholate and lysozyme are added to help in the germination of spores. Cysteine is added as a reducing agent.
