Pseudomonas Isolation Agar Dehydrated Culture Media

The medium's key selective agent is Irgasan®, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that effectively inhibits the growth of a wide range of bacteria while allowing Pseudomonas species to flourish. The agar's differentiation mechanism is based on the enhanced production of a blue-green pigment called pyocyanin by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This pigment diffuses into the medium, providing a clear visual indicator for presumptive identification. The medium is based on a scientifically validated formula and is an indispensable tool for reliable Pseudomonas isolation.
