Description

Enterococcus Confirmatory HiVeg™ Agar is used for the detection of Enterococci in water supplies, swimming pools, sewage etc. 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 on Confirmatory Agar (MV392). This medium is prepared by replacing animal peptones with vegetable defined peptones to avoid BSE/TSE risks associated with animal peptones.
