Intended Use
Pseudomonas Isolation Agar is used for the isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Pseudomonas spp.
Product Summary and Explanation
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most commonly isolated pathogens, and is the most frequently isolated nonfermentative bacillus in clinical specimens. This organism is a significant cause of burn and nosocomial infections. The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to destroy tissue may be related to the production of various extracellular enzymes.
Pseudomonas Isolation Agar is based on Medium A described by King, Ward, and Raney. This medium is very useful for isolating Pseudomonas spp. from clinical specimens such as stools, wounds, and urine. Pseudomonas Isolation Agar includes Irgasan, a potent broad spectrum antimicrobial not active against Pseudomonas spp. This medium is selective and formulated to enhanced formation of blue or blue-green pyocyanin pigment by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The pigment diffuses into the medium surrounding growth.
