Prepared Media HardyCHROM™ SS No-Proteus Agar Petri Plate Format

HardyCHROM™ SS NoPro Agar is intended as a primary screening tool to distinguish Salmonella and Shigella spp. from non-pathogenic enteric bacteria based on colony color, while inhibiting the growth and characteristic swarming of Proteus spp

The enhanced inhibition of Proteus reduces the expense involved in working up non-pathogens that could mimic enteric pathogens

Further species confirmation of suspect colonies via conventional or automated methods is recommended

Reduces costly false-positive work-ups, due to Proteus spp.

Less colony picking, subculturing, and identifications

No need for TSI, LIA, KIA tubes

Reduces use of expensive ID cards

Reduces the number of plates for primary stool setup

Increased specificity
