Description

Enterococcus Confirmatory HiVeg™ Broth is recommended for confirming the presence of Enterococci in water supplies and other sources. Enterococci are differentiated from other Streptococci by their ability to grow in 6.5% sodium chloride, at pH 9.6 and at 10°Cand 45°C. Production of acid and turbidity in an azide presumptive broth when incubated at 45°C is considered positive presumptive evidence for the presence of Enterococci which is confirmed by inoculating in /on Confirmatory Broth (MV394). Enterococcus Confirmatory HiVeg™ Broth, Moeller is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks.
