A medium recommended by the Harmonized USP/EP/JP for isolation and identification of Escherichia coli from non-sterile products. Conforms to USP/EP/JP performance specification. Gelatin serves as source of carbon and nitrogen. Lactose is a fermentable carbohydrate and sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance. Bile salts and crystal violet act as selective agents inhibiting many Gram-positive bacteria. Escherichia coli can ferment lactose to produce acid which results in a pH drop. This is indicated by neutral red resulting in pink colonies.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/macconkey-agar
