ABSTRACT:
A selective culture medium which permits simultaneous detection of total coliform and Escherichia coli in a test sample with a single growth phase incubation period. The culture medium includes the required components of: (i) carbon nutrients, (ii) a nitrogen nutrient, (iii) a source of metabolizable potassium, (iv) a source of metabolizable phosphate, (v) vitamins, (vi) minerals, (vii) amino acids, (viii) sodium pyruvate, (ix) a bactericidal system selective for non-coliform bacteria which includes methylene blue, erythromycin and an azide, and (x) a sensible indicator selectively metabolized by Escherichia coli to the exclusion of other coliforms.
