| Quality control strain | Strain number | Inoculum amount (CFU) | Reference or counting medium | Method | Quality control result | Other characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salmonella paratyphi B | CMCC(B)50094 | / | / | Qualitative | / | Slant is red, bottom is yellow, black is generated at the bottom, and there is a fault at the bottom. |
| Escherichia coli | CMCC(B)44102 | / | / | Qualitative | / | Slant is yellow, bottom is yellow, and there is a fault at the bottom. |
| Proteus vulgaris | ATCC13315 | / | / | Qualitative | / | Slant is yellow, bottom is yellow, black is generated at the bottom, and there is a fault at the bottom. |
| Shigella flexneri | ATCC12022 | / | / | Qualitative | / | Slant is red, bottom is yellow. |
Benefits of TSI Agar Medium Plate
The TSI Agar Medium allows effective differentiation among Enterobacteriaceae. First, observe color changes during testing for immediate visual cues. A yellow slant indicates fermentation, while a red slant shows no fermentation. Moreover, black precipitate indicates hydrogen sulfide production, which is crucial for diagnosing infections.
Conclusion
In summary, the TSI Agar Medium is an indispensable resource for any laboratory focused on microbiological testing. Its precise formulation ensures reliable quality control results. By integrating this medium into your procedures, you enhance diagnostic capabilities and improve accuracy in identifying key bacterial strains.
