POTASSIUM TELLURITE AGAR

CAUTION

March 2022: production stopped by BioRad.

This test is worded and codified by unit to make the order easier, but it is always packaged in kit of 25

Definition

Potassium Tellurite Agar is a medium used for the differentiation of Enterococcus species.

The selectivity of this medium is due to the presence of potassium tellurite, which inhibits the growth of most bacteria associated with Enterococcus species. The differentiation of Enterococcus species is based on their capacity to reduce potassium tellurite into tellurium, which gives the colonies a black colour.
