Modified Buffered Peptone Water with Pyruvate (mBPWp) is used for the isolation of Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) in a laboratory setting. Modified Buffered Peptone Water with Pyruvate (mBPWp) is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) are recognized as the primary cause of hemorrhagic colitis (HC) or bloody diarrhea. This infection can also lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Enterohemorrhagic infections are usually food or water borne and have been implicated in undercooked ground beef, raw milk, lunchmeat, water, unpasteurized apple cider, sprouts and vegetables. Modified Buffered Peptone Water with Pyruvate is recommended in the sample preparation for the screening method following FDA/BAM Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) Protocol.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/modified-buffered-peptone-water-with-pyruvate
