Himedia HiCrome E. coli Agar

This medium is recommended for isolation of Escherichia coli from water, food and clinical samples. The formulation is in accordance with ISO 16649-2. Most of the Escherichia coli strains can be differentiated from other coliforms by the presence of enzyme glucuronidase, which is highly specific for Escherichia coli. The chromogenic agent X-glucuronide used in this medium helps to detect glucuronidase activity of Escherichia coli.
