The BBL™ CHROMagar™ 0157 is a chromogenic medium with a highly specific enzymatic reaction that isolates and presumptively identifies E. coli 0157. Designed for the testing of human, food, and environmental samples, BBL CHROMagar 0157 can differentiate E. coli 0157 from other E. coli strains. Other E. coli strains will either be inhibited or grow as blue to blue-green colonies. In addition, BBL CHROMagar 0157 detects sorbitol-negative and positive strains and most Proteus, Pseudomonas, and Aeromonas strains are inhibited by this medium.
    BBL CHROMagar 0157 is the latest addition to the BBL CHROMagar media line, which already includes BBL™ CHROMagar™ Orientation, BBL™ CHROMagar™ Candida, BBL™ CHROMagar™ Salmonella, and BBL™ CHROMagar™ Staph aureus.
