Thermo Scientific™ OFPBL Medium
Description
Isolate Burkholderia cepacia from respiratory secretions of patients with cystic fibrosis with these prepared plates.
Isolate Burkholderia cepacia from respiratory secretions of patients with cystic fibrosis with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ OFPBL Medium.
Burkholderia cepacia grows slowly and exhibit variable colony morphology on commonly used media for the culture of respiratory specimens. As a result, it is easily obscured by overgrowth with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, other respiratory pathogens, and /or commensal microbial flora. OFPBL (oxidative-fermentative polymyxin B-bacitracin-lactose) medium is a selective and differential medium for the isolation of B. cepacia complex from respiratory specimens of patients with CF.
Burkholderia cepacia is a motile aerobic oxidase positive Gram-negative bacillus commonly found in liquid reservoirs and moist environments. It is an important opportunistic pathogen and causes pulmonary infection among individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF).
OFPBL medium is a selective and differential medium for isolation of B. cepacia complex from respiratory specimens of patients with CF.
- Selective: selective agents polymyxin B and bacitracin inhibit susceptible Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms respectively.
- Easy-to-read: B. cepacia complex produces yellow colonies with yellow zones in surrounding medium.
- Ready-to-use: convenience of prepared media.
