Sorbitol Macconkey Agar, 500g
Selectively detect Escherichia coli O157 with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Sorbitol MacConkey Agar (Dehydrated). The formulation, based on that described by Rappaport and Henig1 is identical to MacConkey Agar No.3, except that lactose has been replaced with sorbitol. Escherichia coli O157 does not ferment sorbitol and, therefore, produces colorless colonies. In contrast, most E. coli strains ferment sorbitol and form pink colonies.
