CHROMagar™ StrepB base and supplement

Product information

For isolation and differentiation of Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS).

Compared to CNA Blood Agar and Granada:
 

1. Easy interpretation: easier reading thanks to an intense and sensitive mauve colony colouration.


2. High sensitivity: detection of GBS, including non-haemolytic strains, with sensitivity close to 100 %.


3. High selectivity: differenciation of GBS from other bacteria by selective inhibition or by counter-colouration.


4. Fast: results in 18-24 h.


5. Simplicity: incubation in aerobic conditions. Confirmation by latex agglutination can be performed directly on the colony.
