CHROMOGENIC CLOSTRIDIAL AGAR BASE

Description

One of the major species of anaerobic bacteria to cause disease in humans is Clostridium. Clostridium species cause tetanus and gas gangrene that ultimately leads to tissue damage. Another Clostridium species produces the lethal botulinum toxin, the causative agent of botulism. Clostridial Agar formulated by Vera is recommended for the selective isolation of pathogenic Clostridia form mixed flora. Chromogenic is the modification for chromogenic differentiation.
