Chromogenic Medium HardyCHROM™ SS No-Proteus Agar Mono-Plate Format

Features

• HardyCHROM™ SS NoPRO Agar, (for Salmonella and Shigella), a chromogenic medium for stool pathogen screening without false positives from Proteus 15x100mm plate
• HardyCHROM™ SS NoPro Agar is intended as a primary screening tool to distinguish Salmonella and Shigella spp. from non-pathogenic enteric bacteria based on colony color, while inhibiting the growth and characteristic swarming of Proteus spp
• The enhanced inhibition of Proteus reduces the expense involved in working up non-pathogens that could mimic enteric pathogens
• Further species confirmation of suspect colonies via conventional or automated methods is recommended
• Reduces costly false-positive work-ups, due to Proteus spp.
• Less colony picking, subculturing, and identifications
• No need for TSI, LIA, KIA tubes
• Reduces use of expensive ID cards
• Reduces the number of plates for primary stool setup
• Increased specificity
