HardyCHROM SS NoPRO Agar, (for Salmonella and Shigella), 15x100mm plates, 10pk

HardyCHROM™ SS NoPRO Agar, (for Salmonella and Shigella), a chromogenic medium for stool pathogen screening without false positives from Proteus 15x100mm plate, order by the package of 10, by Hardy Diagnostics

HardyCHROM™ SS NoPro (no-Proteus) Agar is recommended for the selective isolation and differentiation of Salmonella and Shigella spp. from stool. 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.

Features and Benefits:

• 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
