RAPID'Enterococcus Agar for Water Testing is a selective chromogenic culture medium for the direct enumeration, without confirmation, of intestinal Enterococci (Lancefield group D) in water samples for human consumption and untreated water such as well water, lakes, and streams where there is abundant microbial flora. RAPID'Enterococcus Agar for Water Testing is offered in a package of 6 x 100 ml. RAPID'Enterococcus Agar for Water Testing is based on the cleavage of the chromogenic substrate by Enterococci colonies leading to a blue coloration. The combination of the selective media and the growth conditions (44°C) inhibits the growth of gram negative bacteria, and most gram positive bacteria other than Enterococci. Species detected include E. faecalis, E. faecium, E. durans and E. hirae, as well as other species of Enterococcus. Results are obtained in about 44 hrs and typical colonies require NO confirmation step.
