RAPID'E.coli 2 Medium is a selective chromogenic agar used for direct enumeration, without confirmation, of colonies of Escherichia coli and other coliforms in food products. It is available as a ready-to-use agar bottles or in dehydrated form. RAPID'E.coli 2 allows the simultaneous enumeration of E. coli and coliforms at 37°C or the specific enumeration of E. coli at 44°C without further confirmation. The method is AFNOR certified according to ISO 16140 versus the ISO16649 standard method and is based on the simultaneous detection two enzymatic activities. E. coli forms violet to pink colonies, while other coliforms form blue to green colonies. Growth of interfering flora is inhibited, especially at 44°C, conferring high specificity to the medium.
