Giolitti-Cantoni Broth Base 500G

Giolitti-Cantoni Broth Base is recommended for selective enrichment of Staphylococcus aureus from suspected food stuffs. The composition and performance criteria are in accordance with ISO 6888-3:2003. Lithium chloride inhibits gram-negative lactose fermenting bacilli. Potassium tellurite and glycine inhibit gram-positive bacilli. Addition of sterile paraffin wax to the inoculated medium inhibits Micrococci due to generation of anaerobic conditions. Staphylococcus aureus reduces tellurite and shows blackening at the bottom of the tubes or general blackening of the medium.
