Goineau, SIEBEL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 27 How to detect enterics ? MacConkey Agar y Selective medium for Gram (‐) enterics because crystal violet and bile salts inhibit Gram (+) bacteria. y Differential because lactose and pH indicator will identify lactose fermenters as red colonies and nonfermenters as light pink colonies. y Coliform colonies, which are lactose fermenters, will therefore be red. y When lactose is fermented, a local pH drop around the colony causes a color change of the pH indicator (neutral red) and bile precipitaton. y Aerobic incubation at 35oC for 18‐48 hours y Various formulations – be careful !
