The agar contains sorbitol as a carbohydrate source, which is utilized by most E. coli strains except for E. coli O157, which does not ferment sorbitol and forms colourless colonies.

    • Form: Dehydrated powder
    • Weight: 500g
    • Application: Isolation and differentiation of E. coli O157 from other Enterobacteriaceae
    • Composition: Contains sorbitol as a differential agent, bile salts, and crystal violet for selective inhibition of Gram-positive bacteria
    • Preparation: Suspend 49.5g in 1 liter of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
    • Yield: Approximately 10 liters of prepared medium
    • Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
    • Compliance: Suitable for use in microbiological testing protocols for the detection of E. coli O157 and other Enterobacteriaceae
