HiCromeâ„¢ Klebsiella Selective Agar Base 500G

This medium is used for isolation and enumeration of Klebsiella species based on chromogenic differentiation. The chromogenic substrate incorporated in the media is cleaved specifically by Klebsiella species. K.pneumoniae produces a purple-magenta coloured colony thereby aiding in the easy detection of the organisms. Most of the frequently encountered gram-negative faecal contaminants are inhibited on this media using a selective supplement.
