Tetrathionate CV Enrichment Broth 500G

Tetrathionate CV Enrichment Broth is used for the selective enrichment and isolation of Salmonellae from meat and foodtuffs. It selectively inhibits coliforms and permits unrestricted growth of enteric pathogens. Tryptone and peptone are the sources of carbon, nitrogen, vitamins and minerals. Sodium deoxycholate, brilliant green and crystal violet inhibit gram-positive organisms. Potassium tetrathionate acts as a selective agent. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium. Enriched culture is streaked onto selective and differential agar such as Brilliant Green Agar MacConkey Agar , Bismuth Sulphite Agar for further confirmation.
