Thermo Scientific™ MacConkey Agar without Salt (Dehydrated)
Description
Detect and enumerate coliform organisms in clinical samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ MacConkey Agar without Salt (Dehydrated). The differential medium suppresses swarming of Proteus species and is, therefore, recommended for urine examination in the investigation of suspected urinary tract infection (UTI).
MacConkey Agar without Salt has the same formulation as MacConkey Agar except that it does not contain added salt and, therefore, provides a ‘low electrolyte medium’ on which most Proteus species do not spread. The medium has found particular favour for use in the examination of urine samples so that overgrowth of other organisms is prevented.
