Description

Enterococcus Presumptive HiVeg™ Broth for detection of Enterococci in water and other materials of sanitary importance. Enterococci are differentiated from other Streptococci by their ability to grow in 6.5% sodium chloride, pH 9.6 and at 10°C and 45°C. Production of acid and turbidity when incubated at 45°C is considered positive presumptive evidence for the presence of Enterococci which is confirmed by inoculating in / on Confirmatory Broth / Agar (MV394/MV392). Enterococcus Presumptive HiVeg™ Broth is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks.
